Question:

Need some help picking a trailer breakaway kit with battery, single axel 14 foot enclosed trailer. Also do you have a wiring kit to replace the wiring from the truck to all the trailer lights ?

Expert Reply:

For a breakaway kit with a battery and battery charger, I recommend going with the most reliable option, which is from Hopkins. The correct part number for this kit is the following:

- Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger # 20400

The Hopkins # 20400 is really easy to use, with a button you can push that give you an indicator of if your battery is charged, charging, or low. It will automatically charge the battery so you don't have to do anything at all with the kit once it's installed.

Then, while we don't have an all-in-one kit with the wiring, we do have all the part. I'm not sure 100 percent what you need so I'll go ahead and list out some parts so you can find what you are looking for.
