Hey Robyn,

You can definitely add a solar charger to your breakaway kit, but there is not one that we carry that has a solar charger included. I would recommend going with the Bright Way Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802336, which comes with a trickle charger already but only when you are plugged into the vehicle.

What you can do with that is pair it with this solar battery charger, # PTW2997, that will simply mount next to or near the breakaway kit and charge it through solar.

What kind of horses do you have that you are hauling around??

mostly heavy quarters horses. I have another question for you. So I currently already have a breakaway in place however the battery is no good and the cable was broken off. The current battery is a top load with wire hookups on top. Is the recd system a top load?

@RobynP The one I recommended is actually a top load or side load, whatever works for your application! It is able to mount either way for you. Heavy quarter horses also known as the "bulldog" type! Trivia helps with those fun facts.

@RobynP Hi RobynP, I have a trailer I use to tow my tractor and I had to replace the breakaway kit. I ordered the Bright Way Trailer Breakaway Kit with Switch and 0.5-Amp Charger from e-Trailer. My first order did not included the 0.5-Amp Charger, so I contacted e-Trailer and they sent me another kit which included the 0.5-Amp Charger right away, so great customer service from e-Trailer. The kit I ordered was an exact replacement for my original one and it was an easy install. Works great for me.
