Question relates to my horse trailer. Thinking about going on a trail ride where the camp doesn't have any electrical hook-ups. That means the interior lites in the living quarters and the water pump would run off the deep cycle battery on the trailer.
If you leave the trailer lights hooked up to the truck, there is a 2 amp trickle charge to the deep cycle battery on the trailer. The guy who installed the living quarters warned me about leaving the trailer lights hooked up to the truck because the 2 amp draw to the trailer can pull your truck battery(s) down.
My thought was to hook up the trailer lights to the truck only as an additional source when I needed it to make sure the deep cycle battery didn't get too low. Maybe 6-8 hrs over the course of two days. Could also crank the truck and let it run for a while so the alternator could charge the truck batteries.
Just want to make sure I don't pull the batteries down on the truck. Last thing I want is to try to jump start a diesel.
