hi EVeryone..

i've recently purchased a camper trailer and am due to take delivery of it in mid to late Jan. I've asked the manufacturer not to do any electrical wiring as i wanted to attempt this myself...

SOOOO....i need some assistance on what components are required and the best way to do this....

My tow rig is a Paj in which i installed a dual batt system about a year ago so i'll give you guys those specs and we can go from there..

i run the dual battery system on my Paj through a Projecta 150 unit. Ive used 2B&S cables to run from 2nd batt in the engine bay to a Blue Sea fuse block in the rear of the rig (hv used all the appropriate fuses etc). From this fusebox block, i've got additional cables (smaller size) terminating with Merit plugs for running my fridge, lights etc...

So thats my current setup.

What i would like for the trailer is to run a 150-200ah AGM battery (all batts in the rig are also AGM) that can be charged by the Paj when it's running, AND that i can charge/power through a 240V outlet if i'm at a powered site or through a gen (i hv a Yamaha 1000 unit)...

Given the above, can someone pls advise what additional equipment i'd need, and how to go about wiring it as i wouldnt hv a clue....

I got some good feedback when i posted earlier regarding the dual battery install in my Paj so i'm hoping some of the same members will quip up again with suggestions/assistance...

Just one thing to note, Solar is not really an option for me at the moment so i'd like to my setup to reflect the assets that i hv noted above ie Generator etc.

thanks in advance

cheers
