      From Battery Brake Box...
      Hot into the trailer to a deep cycle battery...Then I should be able to add a power inverter to charge tool batteries?

    You remembered the fuse! Awesome! So many FORGET the fuse. One buys a battery box made to NOT leak out the bottom and let any Acid leak! Then drill holes in it Brillant! No neutrals in 12v just Hots and grounds. Thanks for the video.

      Thank you for your question. Many trailers that have brake systems, which this one does already has a small 12 V battery on the frame with a fuse that charges off your seven pin.

    nice video. yes, some audio issues, but we can get the idea of what you're doing here. I have a single battery Silverado 1500 with the towing package, and I see that I too have 14vdc at that pin with the truck is running. any issues with charging two, 12vdc AGM deep cycle batteries, connected in parallel (so they remain 12vdc), in my trailer, with your method? In other words, can my stock truck (whether its the battery or the alternator) handle the extra load put on it to charging these two trailer batteries?

    • @buildingwithpapa

    the battery on my towed vehicle is always getting drained during towing. I want to run a trickle charge so i can start my towed vehicle when i get to my destination. so all i need to do is to run a fused line from the constant hot of my connector to the towed vehicle battery? Do I also need to run a dedicated ground wire from the connector directly to the battery or is vehicle ground going to be sufficient?

    • @buildingwithpapa
      @buildingwithpapa  3 роки тому

      Thank you for your comment, I think the real question here is why is your battery draining I don’t know how long you’re towing this vehicle but it seems odd to me that the battery is draining.
      But if you do decide to charge that battery this way use the fuse line like you said of the constant heart but you are going to have to run the neutral also.
      I hope this helps.

    Thanks for your video! I just learned my 2018 F-150 SuperCrew with a tow package will not charge the trailer batteries while driving. The RV dealer checked the 7-pin Aux 12V and it showed no power. I spoke with a Ford service tech and he stated in order to have power the truck needed to be parked and you had to keep your foot on the brake pedal. He then hooked up a device that simulated a towed trailer and when the brake was not pressed there were zero amps at the 7-pin., but when the brake was pressed it showed 6-7 amp at the 7-pin. What are your thoughts about running a 16 gauge wire directly from the tow vehicle battery to the 7-pin Aux to charge the trailer batteries while driving?

    • @buildingwithpapa
      @buildingwithpapa  2 роки тому +1

      Running directly from the battery is very dangerous it can overheat that Wire and possibly burn it up I don’t recommend it if you do it you need to put a fuse in that line so that you don’t have any issues but I think it’s going to pop the fuse quite a bit.

    • @extrememiami
      @extrememiami Рік тому +1

      First, a lot of vehicles have the aux pin circuit broken by leaving the fuse out. It's safer to not have an energized lead hot all the time. Kids playing can mess with it, driving through saltwater could short the circuit and cause galvanic issues with metals by your exhaust. Just look under your hood for the breaker names. I bet you have a breaker for "aux trailer". Google say space 9 and 21 are the fuse slots AND look for relay slot #5 in the fuse box, it comes empty from the factory, put a $10 relay in that slot or jump a fuse to slot 5 to have power to aux pin all the time, with a relay you only get power back there when the trucks ignition is on. Fuse should be anywhere from 15 to 30 amps. If you need more than thay then yes you can run a wire from your f150 to the camper trailer, they make kits for doing just that. I had it like that for a 20amp DC-DC charger, until I finally found the Xantrec echo, its a 10 or 15amp battery charger for my trailers lithium batteries. Hope that helps.

      Thank you for your question you’ll have plenty of power to run your truck even if the battery in your trailer is down but you need to find out why your trailer battery is down it is best to keep it fully charged and your truck will charge it but if it keeps going down, then you need to check out the battery.

    • @buildingwithpapa
      @buildingwithpapa  3 місяці тому

      Thank you for your comment. The negative was already grounded to the frame from the trailer company. They never hooked it up to the seven pin to charge the battery so the battery would discharge and it would have to be removed or plug in a battery charger at night this is for my son-in-law so I hooked it up to a seven pin And now it stay charged.

    • @buildingwithpapa

    Maybe I missed it? You ran 1 wire to positive terminal. I didn’t see you run a neutral line. Was there already one in place? Or maybe I am clueless but I thought to charge a battery using the 7 pin you would need 2 wires, for both positive and negative terminals.

    • @buildingwithpapa

      Yes, you’re correct there was already a negative wire run to the box from that battery so all I had to do was run the positive wire. I hope you like the video and if you can leave me a thumbs up.

      Anything that's under 12v. I have a popup so the list would include: the refrigerator, the lights, raising the roof, the stereo, the fan, 12V plugs and USB plugs.... which I believe is the same things a battery does for a regular RV. Everything else requires AC power or propane.

    Good idea however im surprised that you didn’t blow the 30a fuse when you cut the cord cap off!
    The hot and ground are directly connected to the battery and your side cutters could have created a direct short as they penetrated the conductor
    I would advise disconnecting the battery first

    • @buildingwithpapa
      @buildingwithpapa  3 роки тому +5

      You need to watch it again the wire that I cut was the one that goes to the electric jack, I tied that into the rest of the system so when he connected his seven pin to the trailer it also operated the electric jack, so he didn’t have to plug the jack in and then when you after he hooked up the trailer then unplug that one and plug in the trailer jack, I combined them together so no that would not blow out the fuse the jack was not connected to any power until it’s connected to the truck.
