heavy duty box , extra material in the mounting are ( other box from a different supplier I had this was weak point & broke mounting ears off not purchased off this site ) - comes fully charge - this should last a long time . This is an important safety item , should not be over looked . I lost my trailer with no break away it jammed underneath my truck - it was ugly !!

Product looks well made and installed with just one hitch. If you follow instructions and try to connect the 2 wires, one from the breakaway switch and one from the push to test panel using the supplied connector to the positive post of the battery, you can't close the lid of the battery box properly . It hits the electronics on the inside of the lid. You need to do your own splice ( 2 wires into 1 onto the + post . Not a big deal, but certainly a slight screw up by the manufacture.

- Will Trailer Breakaway Battery Charge Auxiliary BatterySo it sounds like you are trying to use the Curt Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger # C52044 to charge an auxiliary battery on your enclosed trailer to power lights, and it makes sense that this would not work. This kit is only designed for breakaway batteries, and has a small 5-amp hour battery capacity, which is probably dead, as I'm guessing you are not seeing any LED indicators (either red or green) illuminated. For everybody's safety, breakaway kits -...

- Recommended Charger for Breakaway Kit Battery When Storing for Long Periods of TimeIf your trailer won't be getting used very often, it is wise to use a maintainer charger on your trailer battery and breakaway battery to keep them in good working order. I recommend using a battery charger like the NOCO Genius # 329-GENIUS5 so it will maintain your battery. This will make it so you can simply plug it in when storing it and you can be sure it will work well when you are ready to tow.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting 2002 F-250 Towing Horse Trailer with Working Exterior Lights but No Interior Lights It sounds like the interior lights on your trailer are powered through the 12 volt circuit on your Ford's 7-way. So, start by testing to make sure that pin is active. On a standard RV style 7-way, this is located at the 1 o'clock position. I've attached a diagram for visual reference. Using a tester like # PK12741 would be the easiest. You could also simply have a case of corrosion on/in the connectors that is preventing the +12V auxiliary power from reaching the trailer. If this is...

- Does a Trailer Need a Battery for the Brakes to WorkNo, you do not need to have an auxiliary battery on the trailer in order for the brakes to work. The brakes are powered by a brake controller like part # C51110 which draws power from the tow vehicle's battery, not the trailer's battery. You will however need a battery on the trailer to activate the breakaway which is required by law in most states however, this battery is very small and is included with most kits like the Curt Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit part # C52044. If you...

The only triple axle disc brake kits currently offered all have 1/2" wheel studs so we will need to piece a kit together for you. I recommend the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 13" Hub/Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - E-Coat - 7,000 lbs # K2HR79E which will fit the 7000lb Dexter axles you have, and gives you the 9/16" studs you mentioned.
