I think you better wait till you get the trailer. I don't know what that box is he is touching, I think its a charger based on the wiring going to battery etc. I don't have that in my unit. I have the pump and the yellow control, you have some addons over me.

LOL you said it had a charger. you may want to just setup the 7 pin for charging if your not close to an outlet, being a durango or dakota, I would think it would be setup to have 7 pin wiring from the factory.

I can give you a link to a 30w solar mppt charger if you want to go that way as well. it works well.
Yes, I'm interested in a solar charger. Will do some more investigating to see if the Dakota is set up for 7-pin. I used a wiring kit to plug in the 4-pin several years ago and now have added a 7-pin that plugs into the 4-pin so can use either one.
I could connect the 12VDC pin to the wire going to the 50amp anderson on the pickup rear bumper but it would be hot all the time unless I switched the breaker off under the hood.

here is the solar kit I use.


the solar charger generally has it charged by the next day. I think I would hold off and see if you actually need charging from the truck. I doubt you will

OK. Thanks for the link. Looks like a nice setup!

i can throw a meter on mine, but I remotely doubt its pulling 130 amps. the wiring for my winch is 2x the size of this and barely pulls 100 on full load
Are you running 2AWG to your winch?

That's a better looking unit than my SureTrac dump trailer. It has the same payload but mine has tiny little 10" wheels which don't lift it off the ground high enough to fully dump.

I looked at the SureTrac as well as the LoadTrail version with the 10" wheels. I like the compactness but not the narrow stance of them. I haven't seen anything similar to the Norstar single axle 5x10 dump for the price.

I wish mine had a wider stance. It's the perfect weight to pull behind my Colorado but should also have brakes.

I'm planning to install some wood side board extensions on the trailer and the stake pockets measure a full 2"x4" inside to inside. Anyone know why they are so much larger than 1-1/2"x 3-1/2" a standard 2by4? Must be a reason but not very handy for standard lumber.

I own the same one, Destroyed the license plate. I agree, do they think dump trailers only sit on paved roads?
