Personally, I would go with the small 12v charger.

The size of the charger really only relates to time in the soapy bath. It's not like plating where the surface area & amperage must match.

Yep, Size Isn't Important, unless you're in too much of a hurry to take your time and get the Desired Result - or at least, that's what I've always thought!
Rules are for the obedience of fools, and the guidance of wise men...

Pulled the trailer out of the shed and spent a bug free night at a lake.

Nice egg! I have a 1979 Trillium Jubilee that I refurbished last year. All new interior, because the windows all leaked.
Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts

I rebuilt this one 4 or 5 years ago. Traded a buddy a planer for it. It had been sitting in a field for about 20 years and had 20 years of mouse crap in it. There was enough mouse dung that it ate through the metal housing of the stove. First step was to gut it then hauled it to the lake and 2 gallons of bleach and 10,000 gallons of water from the fire hose cleaned it up. Replaced the axle with one that had hydraulic brakes and added a surge hitch, money well spent. It got a paint job to cover the lovely avocado  green, yes it was from the 70's too.

Looks like a fiberglass shell so at least it wasn't ruined by the mouse $hit.

Good move on the surge brakes. I have them on both of the trailers I've built and prefer them over electric ones.

BTW, Good Job.

My compressor is so low to the ground that I can barely get my hand underneath to open the drain valve. To fix that, I purchased some 10" tires to get 1.25" more clearance underneath. The original shoulder bolts that hold the tires on worked with the new tires so I lucked out there. All that's left is to make are some 1.25" long spacers to put between the compressor and the bolted on feet. so that the compressor sits level.

Oh, and I mowed the lawn for the first time this spring. Boy, am I out of shape.  Blush
