Question:
There are 2 things I would like to do to my new 6x12 Neo Trailer model NAM126S. This is a 4-wire single axel trailer and was specifically purchased to tow my motorcycle. #1. I will be traveling across country next month and I wanted to install a battery tender to trickle charge the motorcycle while it is being towed. I have a dc to ac power inverter and the trickle charger, but I’m not sure how to go about connecting the power inverter to the existing wiring. #2. I am also thinking about installing a deep cycle AGM battery so that my interior trailer lights will work even when my trailer is not connected to my vehicle. Again, I’m not sure how to do this. In either option above, I’m sure you would have all of the parts I would need in order to accomplish my very short wish list. Thank you

Expert Reply:
So it's going to be quite a bit.
What you're going to need is to convert your trailer to a 7-way with a junction box # 38656, and then use a DC to DC charger like the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Single Input # RED96FR to use the vehicle to charge the battery that you're adding to the trailer.
You're then going to need a small inverter, like the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34279948, and plug the charger # 329-GENIUS10 into that to go to the bike battery.
