Installing a solar charger on a dump trailer to help maintain the battery throughout the day.
Here is a link to the kit I used.

We just installed the Pole Pal USA 7pc Dump Trailer Wiring Set on our PJ Dump Trailer and couldn't be happier! Their kit uses 2 gage wire and Anderson quick connects. We have tried adding a solar panel but it still wasn't enough. We have 3 work trucks and 3 trailers (dump, equipment and enclosed) and plan to install the truck side wiring on all 3 trucks and the trailer side wiring on all 3 trailers. It is the best solution I have found by far! We will use the trucks battery and alternator to supply power to the pump on the dump trailer, winch on the equipment trailer and interior lighting, outlets and accessories on the enclosed trailer.

John, another cool and informative vid. This will come in handy as I am in the process of designing, planning, the power system for my DIY Adventure Trailer. Got some awesome ideas, mama got me a trailer to build, said she was tired of hearing me complaining about sleeping my 6'3" 245 lbs body in the back of my F150 SuperCrew shortbed. LOL. I am sure I would have spent half the Texas Summer over figuring how to do something like this. My requirements will be a bit more than this, but great idea. Thanks again.

You should look at my solar powered enclosed trailer video that system will power and air conditioner for a small space no problem it's a grey and black trailer in the thumbnail I believe

Thanks!

Last thing anyone wants to do is put holes and screws in their lid

[@djexclusivee]

Im guessing any battery in a dump trailer can be put to any solar panel? Do you recommend any?

[@JDSOutdoors]

Deep cycles only

[@SSMWRX11]

So, it's safe to plug from home using extension cord straight to the dump trailer to charge the battery

[@JDSOutdoors]

Yes

[@BigRigRich]

After using this for a while now, is it working as expected? Is there anything you would do differently?

[@JDSOutdoors]

Working awesome and nothing I can think of that I'd change

Thanks

[@isasakiri3679]

Will it overcharge the battery?

[@JDSOutdoors]

Nope the charge controller stops that

[@23steph13]

Do you have a fuse on your hydraulic pump?

[@JDSOutdoors]

I believe so

[@23steph13]

@@JDSOutdoors ok thanks. Trying to hook mine up properly

[@tylercarter770]

Blew my mind when you ran those self tapping screws through the lid. That’s gonna leak. Why not use the gorilla tape on it as well

[@JDSOutdoors]

Won't leak after the sealer is applied

[@raymondpowell6579]

If your going to solder on the wire, you could have just unsoldered it....

[@user-dr2pg8fk2i]

Really don't need anything more than a 25watt solar module.

[@traviewilliams8945]

Do i really need the charge controller?

[@user-dr2pg8fk2i]

@@traviewilliams8945 yes, or you will blow out your battery

[@hernandez660r]

But why would you drill holes Their water is gonna get in and it looks stupid

[@whatawonderfulnameitis1964]

Looks like it was got out

[@JDSOutdoors]
