BATTERY
All TrailManor travel trailers are engineered to accept an auxiliary battery.
Batteries mounted within the trailer must be sealed to the interior and vented to
the exterior. The battery must be hooked up directly to black (positive) and white
(negative) on converter using nothing less than 10 gauge wire. The black wire
should be protected with a 30-amp in-line fuse. The 30-amp converter has an
automatic transfer switch, which designates the energy source. When
connected to a 120-volt power supply, the converter will charge the battery. The
trailer’s battery will be charged also by your tow vehicle’s battery/charging
system when connected.
CAUTION:
When drawing current from the tow vehicle battery, be
sure to avoid draining battery to such a low point that the tow
vehicle will not start.
BATTERY ISOLATOR (Optional)
Since the converter draws energy from the strongest source, you may want a
battery isolator installed in your car. It protects the car's battery from draining
while the tow vehicle is not running. Contact your dealer for more information.
