Might be helpful if you asked questions and let everyone know what you are trying to do.

Experience is a good teacher and a harsh mistress. ;-)

I would do it the same way I do my backhoe and tractor. Get a charger that can be mounted in the truck somewhere and run the plug out to the driver's side. Wire the charger directly to the batteries. When you walk up to the truck you will see the charger is plugged in, otherwise I can...

What would affect the brakes by changing to 12V? They are surge on an A2. Unless you put electric brakes on the trailer it does not matter what voltage you run for the lights.

Nice!

Funny, I was going to close the thread but figured it wasn't good to do that to the Boss. :-)

There are at least two threads on the M809 series sprags. I was looking at them this morning.
