SB50 Powerpole Connector for trailer, where are you mounting?

[scotticus]

I need to add a connector to charge my trailer. Has anyone added this onto their truck and how/where were you able to mount it?

Thanks!

I posted this in another thread. I hope this helps you out.

This month I installed the Warn winch, the wiring and Anderson plugs for the DC to DC Ctek 250SA/120S charging setup in the tent trailer, and the two 500 amp continuous duty solenoids (controlled by the Aux dash switches) that direct power to the winch and the DC to DC charger.

Search JamdonGear on Etsy. They also have a similar housing for the 50amp anderson plug. Mine is the housing for the 175amp plug. If you decide to mount through the bumper as I did, be aware that the outer surface of the bumper is plastic, but the inner part is steel and there is a gap between them. Also measure carefully as there is not a lot of suitable area on the back surface of the bumper for mounting. If you need more i formation, just let me know.

Oh nice, most of his stuff is 3D printed with PETG. I could probably just print something up. didn't think of that! Thanks for the info!

If you got the trailer package, the plug from the Jeep to the trailer will also charge any battery on the trailer if the trailer is also like wired. No extra plugs needed...

Many people are surprised to learn that the standard trailer plug and wiring will supply only around 5 amps to the trailer. A DC to DC charger on the trailer supplied by heavier gauge
wiring from the truck alternator is required to efficiently charge the trailer batteries and supply any additional load requirements.

I did not intend to have my latest post appear to be part of the previous post.

This trailer does not pull from the 7 pin, I was assuming the same thing but it has a 50A input for charging.

Would be great to find an Anderson bulkhead with a cover. Im going to be running an sb120 connector and will probably just leave it hanging near the spare as I would want a cover (which are available for loose connectors).

I have a 120 with a cover on my truck, this one
