Hi Guys
I've had a look through and can't seem to find a thread about this. Please forgive me if it's already there.
As I will be picking up my 17 foot from interstate in the next couple of months I am keen to get the tug all wired up correctly.
The Van is coming with a 12pin connection as per Jayco's 'recomendation' and I am happy with that.
I have solar so I'm not too worried about charging the van battery from the car, so I'm not sure I see the need to upgrade that side of things. As it stands it will charge via the hotwire (pin2) on the 12pin. Any comments about this welcome.
My question is more about the fridge. I will be getting a 150L and from what I can tell it will be on pins 9 and 10 (+ve and -ve) with a thicker (6mm?) wire. What I would like to know is how the tug is wired in this case. Ie, is there a direct line from the battery to these pins/will the Auto elect just run a thick guage wire from terminals to pins? I assume a fuse will be involved, but is there anything else?
Also, what about the issue of the tug battery going flat when you stop for lunch and leave it connected? I've read threads about this but cant seem to find them. Did someone say they installed some kind of relay? I noticed RV electronics have a device for this called Fridgeswitch http://www.rvelectronics.com.au/page.asp?parentid=3&parent2id=14
Any help is greatly appreciated!
