thanks for that input Richard. I am planning on doing something very similar to this.

Thanks for the feed back Doug. I recently purchased a Noco Genius10 Amp battery/trickle charger. Read a lot of good reviews on the product It was a little pricey but I'm hoping the investment pays off.

Good to know....thanks for the feedback

Thanks John for the useful tips I will certainly be careful not to overload the trailer. Peter

Thank you Dena. This gives me more confidence that my vehicle has the capacity. . Would you suggest I use a lower gear when going down hill? to minimize braking. Good point about overloading my vehicle. Steve also suggested I install a transmission cooler.
