Just got my 25' Eliminator. The inside lights do not work when the tow vehicle power is not hooked up. So, how does the breakaway battery get charged? Wouldn't the +12v from the tow vehicle be tied to both of these, thus the lights getting power from the breakaway battery when not plugged into a tow vehicle?

Why would you need it to charge when not hooked up? Oh, for the lights? My cargo trailer lights wont work unless connected either.

Did you open the battery box and make sure it's connected? Most people will disconnect it when the trailer is stored or inactive. Maybe the dealer never connected it. If it's like mine, the battery has the small spade terminals.
Just found out that there is no connection between breakaway battery and tow vehicle. Cheap little battery is rated for 3 years or 3 break-a-ways. Very unimpressed so far with brand new special order Cargo Mate Eliminator trailer. One of many things that lacks quality on expensive Forest River trailer.
