Adding cigarette lighter plug to Teardrop trailer

[Brainsprain]

I have a teardrop trailer to pull behind my CanAm Spyder RT. I am thinking of buying a 12Volt cooler to use in it for our trip this summer. Can I connect the outlet to the existing wiring? The coolers pull like 3 to 4 amps. I’m not sure about the wiring like can I connect it to the ground and the brake light wires. The trailer harness is direct wired to the battery. The trailer harness is the system that is protected separately from the Motorcycle. Any help from the wiring geniuses will be appreciated.

3 to 4 amps ..... You can get a HD 12v cig lighter from any Auto parts store ..... I wouldn't advise using the lighting wiring from your car or truck .... Just run some 12-14 ga. wire directly to the battery in the vehicle from the lighter ..... I would add a separate fuse for that line ..... jmho .... Mike :thumbup:

Might try a separate system so no problems. A separate battery that stays on trailer (with a solar maintainer) & the cig lighter ,maybe some Leds:dontknow: Lot depends on storage space & proper ventilation for battery :thumbup.
