12V DC Power Source

WARNING. You should check with a qualified automotive technician if you have questions about connecting live wires.

You can now setup your trailer 25 feet away from your car, and still have power!

I use the power for lighting, or for my Water Pump.

Keep in mind, that you should not let your car battery discharge. I've used my power source for 2 days before recharging my car battery.

If you have any questions or would like to know more, you can find me back at the Boler website, and contact me, "Gord100".

This picture shows how I taped off 12V DC from the car battery source. To find the right source of power, you need an volt meter. Use the volt meter to find a constant 12V DC source. Make sure the car is off so that your 12V source won't require your car keys! Notice the 15Amp fuse (check Canadian Tire) that I installed to protect against short circuits.

From the power source I created, I ran a wire under the car to inside the trunk somewhere. Notice the long brown wire coiled on the ground. This is 25' standard lamp wire (~14 gauge.) You will need to attach this long wire to a 2-prong automotive connector (check Canadian Tire). You can disconnect this wire during transportation.
