This thing balances all the inputs, solar and alternator to get proper charge to vehicle and trailer battery.

My super simple first idea was to have a small battery charger on the tear batteries full time, and just plug an extension cord in from the bed to the trailer to charge while driving. Any overcharging issues would be handled by the charger's electronics, it doesn't draw 400 watts, so is there anything else I'm missing (besides the disgusted looks of others at my podunk solution)?

It's jumper 'cables' that you plug into your 12V outlets. Figured this way, the car kinda regulates the charge & there won't be as many worries about frying any computer stuff with the car. I have the charge monitor thing for back up. Any thoughts I may want to consider? Should work, right? Figured this would be just as easy as having to mess with wiring & such, which I don't know much about. Yay or nay?
