Tried using the search feature and was unsuccessful. Hoping to get a little insight on this.
Bought a power jack for the utility trailer and thought I had read on here about wiring it to your Breakaway Brake battery. Anyone have an experience on this? Better option?

Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

if it is a travel trailer with 12v inverter then hook to the battery/ies on front.
if a utility trailer use the 12v at the plug.
breakaway should be isolated and only for the brakes, a dead battery will do you no good and those are not very high amp hr. rated.

I have never liked the power jacks because it seems like they don't work at the most in opportune times.
If I was going to have one, I would get a winch wire harness/plug for a receiver mount winch and run it to that. Like hop said the break away battery is like a deer feeder battery and will not be sufficient to power it.
