    There’s a pin in the 7 pin trailer connector that can be made to have 12volts constantly. I had to add a fuse under the hood for mine to become hot. Buy a male 7-pin trailer plug and wire in a wireless remote operated switch on that hot pin. I use “The Remote”. Mount receiver unit of switch on road feeder. Keep wireless push button remote in center console of truck. Attach the feeder motor to remote operated switch as described in instructions.
    There's one for the trailer brakes too, you could just squeeze the manual activator on your dash to turn the feeder on.

      You have instructions on how to do that?

        I added a 2 pin plug to the front of my truck and made an extension cord with a rocker switch that plugs between feeder and two wire plug on truck and can also be used on the 4 wire trailer plug of any vehicle.

            I use the same feeder on my truck as my atv. My truck is wired directly into “upfitter” switches in super duty and I built this to run on 4wheeler. Plugs in lighter, goes on bottom of pvc. Cut one wire and put push button on. Come back out bottom and go to a 2 prong plug.
