The RV stores sell a solenoid that LOOKS like
a FORD solenoid but they are built for
continuous duty and only draw an amp or so
when energized. I think I gave 12 dollars for
the last one I bought. It's set up so that the
truck's charging system is connected to the
trailer battery when the ignition key is on (10
ga. wire with 20amp circuit gbreaker from
battery on truck thru the trailer light cord plug to
the trailer battery) for charging. This works well
for my camping trailer; on the equpment trailer
which has an electric winch like yours I have
welder plugs on the rear bumper to hook both
truck and trailer batteries together for
loading/unloading with the winch. I'm using #5
welding cable for this circuit.
