Do you know what the current draw is under load? My utility trailer doesn't have a battery so the power will have to come through the trailer plugin.

I have no idea, Just keep your auto running and I'm sure you wont run down your battery in your truck. My camper battery is a deep cycle. This is what I use.

I can tell you that they provide a 30 AMP fuse to protect the circuit. Hope that helps!

I have the same setup on my travel trailer - two Trojan 6 volt in series, for 12 volts total. Just took it camping this weekend, with no hookups and went 3 days without having to run a generator. We used a small laptop, our house water pump, fridge, and furnace ran all three nights as well. Something to keep in mind is that all of my lights have been switched to led, and it was only slightly cloudy for us. I never bothered to check my actual voltage, but my stock wall meter was typically at 1/2 to 3/4 in the a.m., and full by sunset.Hope this helps

The unit will determine if there is a trailer present or not. It does this the first time you hit the brake. If there is a trailer, the voltage output to the trailer is displayed, if there is no trailer the display reads "no trailer connected" then there will be no output to the trailer. The unit is on as long is there is a key in the ignition. The power plug in the back is not easy to remove, it has a fairly stout locking mechanism. (Which is good. I do not want the the plug rattling loose when i have my trailer on.) Also, the unit turns itself off after a few minutes of inactivity when you turn the key off. I have had mine wired like this for over a year and there is no change in in my battery health or performance.

Dale, I took a pic to the power, hope it helps you. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B34NCybAqa80UlJiUDNXX3A1Zms/edit?usp=docslist_apiRegards,Rod

Mine runs off the battery on my RV. When the RV (trailer) is hooked up to the tow vehicle, the battery gets recharged.

I took out my 30 amp plug and replaced it with this 15 amp. My set up is a 6x12 box trailer. "Not a RV" I hook my Honda 2000 generator to it all the time. Only power is a microwave and a coffee pot. Maybe the occasional PowerTool or light. I mostly did this so I wouldn't have to have an adapter. The trailer originally came with a 30 amp locking plug.

The current draw is rated at 60 amps for this unit. At 230 volts, that comes to 13800 watts. That's the peak. It will usually run much lower than that. Also, as an answer, why reply with "I don't know"?

no power draw that i'm aware of, the unit is activated when triggered by an outside source.

put a active wire,off the drok dc meter, to the active line being used to, run things in your rv that should use of power and what is left good luck Chris

No. I've gone a month or more between hookups. If everything looks OK but there is a failure to link up, check the condition of the male plug contacts from the trailer to the control box. They have to be clean and make a solid contact with the receptacle pins.

It protects the electronics of the vehicle so it doesn't have to draw more current than the wiring might be capable of of. Many newer vehicles are using thinner gauge wiring that might not be able to handle the current draw for both the vehicle and the trailer lights.

Make sure you are running premium gas and put in a good name brand spark plug. Also what amp draw is your saw? This gennie is only good to 8-10 amps. We run lights and a battery charger in our boat. No issues. Hope this helps

Yes you can ! Power drain is very low . You will have to have the trailer plug connected and the lights on .

David, We are building a new house. Its in but no permanent power to it yet. I will hook it up this weekend and experiment. I will try to respond to this again after I have info.

the power plug has an internal 5amp fuse in it . probably just need to screw the end off the plug

I have run this off of a large diesel generator (tow behind rental). Worked just fine. Might draw too many amps for a small generator.

It should have no problem if it draws less than 20 amps. I use my generator at times to run a similar unit and have power to spare on my camper. I think mine has a start up of 14 amps and settles in around 12 amps.
