Question:
Majestic Outdoors will be using a newly wrapped enclosed trailer in our expo setups. Do they make an adapter that we can plug into a standard 110v outlet and to our 4 or 5 pin pigtail to light up the lights on the trailer during the shows?

Expert Reply:
The best option I can give you would be to bring with you a 12 volt car battery and run jumper wires from each of the circuits of the trailer connector to the positive side of the battery. Or you could use the # HM50928 in conjunction with the battery to allow you to easily control the power to each of the circuits. This would make things easier, but it is a costly option.
To keep the battery charged you would need a battery charger like the part # CTEK56353.
