Buzzman72: There are several reason I do not want to use the truck batteries to supply the trailer.
1)A big one is the danger of running the batteries too low and not being able to restart your truck after you use the winch or dove tail too much.
2) Another is the danger of having 40 feet of battery cable ran back through the truck frame and trailer frame. It is hard enough to keep smaller wires form corroding with the liquid deicer they use on the roads anymore. Let alone one hooked up to high amps DC current.
3) The cost of wiring 3-4 trucks that use the trailer.
I do not see how having the batteries a few feet from the unit that needs them as being a half A$$ed way to do it. Your wanting to have the battery current run through LONG cables with CONNECTIONS that will corrode. That will mean that the voltage drop will be much larger than having the power supply right at the units.
I have had winches hooked up with the connectors you listed. The winch did not work very well because of the voltage drop from the truck battery. It was a constant battle to keep the plug connections clean enough to work.
