Thanks for the photo!
The Goal Zero Boulder 200 Briefcase Solar Panel # 287-32409 uses a specialized connector that is different from what you have pictures but we have the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller - 200 Watt Solar Panel # 34282610 that comes with an adapter to fit that inlet.
A lot of the newer solar panel systems are from Go Power so odds are your trailer is setup with this same brand. This is a plus because this portable kit uses a PWM charger which is what should be on your trailer - if they're the same then the controllers will play nice together. If you have a different brand or model please let me know so we can make sure everything is compatible.
