So you're increasing the voltage, to more efficiently transfer power from the tow to the trailer? Where does the voltage doubler get hooked up, hopefully someplace close to the alternator or starting battery?
Nice work if it's working for you ... Too many moving parts for me, and I like complicated solutions to simple problems :)
My thought, not currently implemented: Bypass the bargman. Run 4ga or heavier off the alternator to the rear bumper and use a PowerPole connector to mate with similar wiring on the trailer side, leading to the battery box. Question is; would a factory alternator handle the extra load?
