Battery charging from shore power?

Stock, do most trailers charge the batteries when they are hooked up to shore power? Or does that occur when the trailer is hooked up to the tow vehicle?

  • Bluebeard, I think the simple answer to this is YES to both. On shore power your converter/inverter will charge the battery and when hooked to the tow vehicle will also charge the battery if you have the hot line on the tow vehicle hooked. Some vehicles come with plug already wired and you might have to put a fuse in the fuse panel.
