The trailer will be a supplemental power source for my truck camper and also provide power to itself. I haven't decided if the interconnect between the two will be AC or DC at this point but the idea is to reduce generator use primarily to air conditioner operation. I will be experimenting with various capacities of like ganged batteries once installed to see how much reserve I can build each day verses discharge and expect this to be an ongoing project that changes as I learn, our needs change or I find a good deal...
