Trailer Breakaway Kit Battery Charger Review Video

If you have a break away kit that does not include a charger, you can provide a charge to the battery using the 12 volt circuit or auxiliary circuit from the vehicle 7-Way trailer connector. However, using the 7-Way can overcharge a break away…

The Dexter hub you referenced, 8-201, is a 5,200 lb hub, though a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern does not come on 5,200 lb hubs. The correct bearings for the 5,200 lb hub are #25580 and #LM67048, while the proper races are #25520 and #LM67010. I have…

There is not a breakaway kit battery charger, including the Hopkins #20011 that will eliminate vampire draw completely. I do strongly recommend taking a look at the help article I added on trailer breakaway kit installation. Going by this should help…

Part #PTW2997 works great for charging your breakaway battery when the trailer is not in use. This product is easy to hook up and fairly inexpensive compared to the price of a new battery. I strongly recommend this product. We do not carry any…

The correct way to wire up the breaker that comes with the Roadmaster charge line kit part #RM-156-25 is to have the copper post ran to the positive post of the battery that is charging the other vehicle and the silver side to the battery that is…

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…
