Question:
I would like to add a break away battery to power lights in enclosed trailer. This will have limited use while unhooked. Will this cause any issues?

Expert Reply:
Breakaway batteries aren't typically used for powering interior lights but with a kit like the Hopkins Engager part # 20099 you'd have a kit that would come with a battery charger as well.
I'd recommend LED interior lights as they draw considerably less than incandescents like the Optronics kit part # RVILL34.
