Nice setup. I have an exterior male end receptacle and have been contemplating an inverter. I run a compound miter saw, table saw, belt sander, multiple chargers, 4 banks of LED lighting, air compressor, and have a generator for remote jobs. I like what you’ve done.
I lean towards a small battery for lighting and power trailer jack. I mounted a 2500w inverter in my pick up truck, powerstroke and it costs me $2 an hour to idle, and just plug from the trucks inverter to the trailer if I need non shore power. But I can also run an extention cord to the trailer and get power from our shop or wherever the work is.
Finally bit the bullet and ordered the AIMS 3000w pure sine wave inverter/charger and 12v 200ah LiFePo4 battery for my trailer. Excited to get it all hooked up! The charger in the AIMS is apparently not good for the lithium battery, so I had to get a separate charger for that. While I was at it, got an electric tongue jack to add to the system since I disconnect my trailer every day. Battery heat sensor, inverter remote, etc etc. Can’t wait to get it all hooked up and running!
Like the set up. I have something very similar except I use 1 100 ah lithium iron phosphate battery which can be drained all the way down and a 2k pure sine wave inverter. All of it hooked up to solar power which is attached to the roof with 600lb fishing magnets. It will charge the battery fairly quickly
Trailer usually doesnt get below 32 degrees most winter nights, but when it does I talk what ai need inside. Most other stuff can freeze and I just thaw it out when I need it.
I have a 6x12 enclosed trailer that I use for my work, I have all my tools and would like to set up power inside so that I can run a mini fridge at all times and to have a microwave setup as well and to be able to plug my tools in to keep them chargedI have a 6x12 enclosed trailer that I use for my work, I have all my tools and would like to set up power inside so that I can run a mini fridge at all times and to have a microwave setup as well and to be able to plug my tools in to keep them charged and I want to run lighting inside as well..what set up would you recommend? Mind you i have no electrical experience whatsoever. Thank you...what set up would you recommend? Mind you i have no electrical experience whatsoever. Thank you.

Thank you, I wondered how your trailer electrical was set up.

Yes li ion battery bank is on the upgrade list. Soooooo many great things about Li batteries over lead acid.
Yea just so much more expensive. the one battery was around $1k but think it's well worth it
Nice set up bro. A little to expensive for me . I’ll stick to my extension cord to the prem for now. Maybe next year. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Shore power is the best option for most. This is just a convenient thing that I'm building.
Nice set-up, I'm thinking of a similar setup so what's the specs on the trailer? Also would you pay for the trailer?
Do your batteries also charge from tow vehicle when connected? Also are your led lights powered directly from batteries?
Batteries do not charge from tow vehicle. Yes lights are 12v amd run direct from Batteries.
Not electrical related... but I'm curious if the cold effects your caulking you store in the trailer?

Thanks! Awesome battery setup by the way!
Actually the solar is attached to the top with the magnets and also I have vhb tape on the other brackets.
Are your 12volt LED’s also powered from the inverter or do you have that coming from the tow vehicle (always being plugged in)?
They are 12v from battery bank directly.
