Phil (New Mexico) –
Hey there Gus, quick one for you…do you have a 12 volt package on your trailer? I like the option of power when I stop for the night, but am worried about the weight.
Hi Phil…
You are right to be concerned. While a 12 volt package is ideal in a teardrop, if you are hauling yours with a bike, you need to be aware of the overall weight – most notably your tongue weight. A deep cycle battery will add 40+ lbs to the trailer, not to mention some of the other pieces/parts that go along with it. I would suggest adding an external 120 v outlet and a couple internal recepts that will allow you to plug your trailer in and plug in whatever you need – always remember, keep your tongue weight in line with your vehicle’s limitations, if you don’t, you’ll contribute to damaging your vehicle and possibly yourself.
