4 way club to 6 flat blade on TV

[font size="3"]If you do run a wire to charge your trailer battery, be sure to run a heavy wire. At least #10 AWG, preferably #8 if you can do it. Also be sure to add a [/font][font size="3"]fuse and a [/font][font size="3"]relay, operated by the ignition switch, between the auto battery and the added charge line. This will isolate the two batteries and prevent discharging you starting battery by the trailer when you stop. Really bad form to wake up in the morning with two dead batteries.

[/p][p]I think every tow vehicle with a factory round 6 pin connector has the relay built in to the vehicle. My last two TVs did: a Ford and a Nissan- 2001 and 2013. I agree, they are essential to keep your TV battery from running down if you leave it connected.[/p][p]

[font size="3"]David,

You're right. I guess I misread the posts. The added wire mentioned was on the trailer side after the replaced or adapted 4 pin connector.

Cheers.

I've been perfectly happy without using any of the onboard electronics before.

Wait....you run your A/C off that battery ? Skeptical.

Did you forget your glasses pin, or am I just going crazy b/c I dont see where I said anything about running the A/C off battery

That would be this part:

If you dont plan to use the AC unit and you are comfortable with just tent camping then there is very little need for the battery.

Having a battery is irrelevant to whether you plan to use the AC unit. You can have a battery, and plan to use the AC. But it won't happen. AC requires a 30amp hookup.

I see where you got there, but that wasnt my intent I was referring to keeponhiking's overall comments where he wasnt planning on using shore power, thus no AC, and how he was comfortable camping without the need for a larger battery. I guess the idea sounded better in my head than it did on paper
