On the tongue of the trailer, there is (4) 6 volt batteries, and under the bed in the front of the trailer near the batteries is a 2800 watt inverter.

I can load the trailer in ways that easily add or subtract about 150 lbs from the tongue weight, which tells you how much beer and other unnecesary *stuff* we carry with us. :B
