    Hi fernockulated, that is not as far fetched as you me think. For many years old railway passenger carriages, when they had nothing more than basic lighting, had there lighting powered by a generator driven by a leather belt running around one of the carriages axles. So why not try it on a trailer, the technology is there? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

    seen a heap of em over the years.

    some even have a tailshaft that bolts directly to the drive flange and a housing over the alternator so it doesnt get full of crap.

    one old guy i knew even had a dog clutch setup on his so he could have it spinning or not.

    On the subject of solar panels, can any one using them as a power supply for charging a backup battery post some details on how you have them mounted, how they are wired up and when do you use them, or if you prefer, send me a PM.
    I’m interested in getting some feed back as I am about to start testing some new equipment and I would like to do it in as close a manor as it would be in the real world.
    Regards
