Good evening everyone. I have a question to ask. My tractor hauling trailer; 16' long by 7'wide was burned in a grass fire set by a neighbor and it got away from him. It also burned a storage building, 12 privacy fence trees 3 dogwoods and many azaleas and was with in 100' or so from my shop when the local fire dept finally got it stopped. He had no insurance of any sort and the house belongs to his father who lives elsewhere. My home owners covered most of it and he finally came through with paying my deductible on the claim.
The trailer is a 1999 model that originally came with brakes only on the front axle. I talked with a local firm that builds trailers and he looked at it. They took it to their plant stripped it to the frame sand blasted it replaced both axles with Dexter 3500# axles and all have brakes now. They replaced the fenders,did all the lights, springs and suspension parts, new tires and rims including the spare tires and painted it for ~$500,00 less than buying another one. So now I basically have a new trailer My question is this. It was upgraded to have the trailer breakaway unit with the battery. My trailer plug setup has the extra hot wire that is sometimes used for backup lights or something. This wire is a # 10 AWG wire that is connected to a circuit breaker that comes from the truck battery and then goes back to the plug for what ever. If I connect this wire to the breakaway battery to charge it will it be too much or what and will it need something like a diode in the line to prevent it from affecting the truck battery. This is my first time dealing with a breakaway system on the brakes. Only name I could find on the unit is Phoenix Thanks for helping me out. Gene Davis Tennille, Ga.
