Tow wiring

If you are working on your tow vehicle, E-trailer has a kit and videos that may help with your own install. Circuit breakers  are usually used.

Wiring to trailer plug

If any of you are wiring through the connector plug to charge your battery on the trailer from your tow vehicle charging system here are a few things you need to know.

First, you need to isolate the charging of the two batteries so you don't over charge either of the batteries and ruin them. To do this you need to install a battery isolator such as one made by SurePower. They make different models to work with different types of charging systems, so make sure you get the correct one for your tow vehicle. The isolator will read the charge of each battery and direct charging to the one needing the power from your alternater. When you plug in your trailer connector it will then properly charge the battery on your trailer. Also use a circuit breaker in the wiring to the plug on the back of your tow vehicle. And use # 6 or 8 wire from the isolator to the plug on the back of the tow rig too.

Second, if you have your trailer hitched to your tow vehicle and are using the lights and other 12 volt items, you won't be using any of the battery power on you tow vehicle which could result in a dead battery and not be able to start your vehicle.

What's really nice is to be able to run your three-way refrigerator on 12 volt while traveling down the road and not have a dead battery after doing so.

Sure has worked for me.
