Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Roadmaster Battery Charged Line Kit for towed vehicles. Now this kit will allow up to 15 amps from your RV's battery to be used to maintain the charge of your towed car's battery while the car is being towed, and it does provide just 15 amps to avoid overcharging. This will connect the battery to your 6-way or 7-way plug at the front of your towed car. Receives the power from your RV, so it does require a separate charge line. Now if there's no charge line present in your RV, it will require Roadmaster's Motor Home Battery Line, which is part number RM-156-75, which we do sell separately on our website, and is listed on this product page as a related product.This part will include everything laid out here on the table. The 14 gauge wire, the split wire loom, the circuit breaker, all the hardware and connectors to hook it up, a couple of cable ties to take up any slack in the wiring, and even a nice set of detail installation instructions on how to install everything.
This part is made in the U.S.A. That should do it for the review on the Roadmaster Battery Charged Line Kit for towed vehicles.

Charge line connects to the 6-way or 7-way plug on your vehicle. Requires separate charge line in RV.The product was exactly what I needed to keep the battery of my towed vehicle charged and it was very easy to install.I would recommend it for everyone that has a motor home and a tow vehicle. 544210
I have a battery charger cable from my RV to the towed car. My battery is in the rear so the instructions state I can attach the wires to the battery connector points up front. But then it says to attach the charger thing as close to the battery as possible. Question - Do I put the charging thing in the rear or the front 582538
According to Roadmaster, its best to install the circuit breaker which is the small box with the two terminals on it that I believe you were referring to as close as possible to the battery.

Mike L - 11/15/2018The products I ordered were all delivered earlier than I expected and were of good quality. All the products are installed and work as they were designed to perform. When researching what I needed on the web I had some questions. Kim P. answered all my questions and proceeded to take my order so I didn't have to complete the order on line. If you are lucky to get Kim on the phone rest assured you have a dedicated employee who will get you the answers you seek. 470810
Does not say you have to have a additional connect for this to work 488095
Product fits the need, very good instruction to do the install. 472048
This product does what it's supposed to. I bought it from here instead of a place like Amazon BECAUSE of the customer service! Best around. They listened to my point of view and helped me make a decision for ME. 357941
When towing my Honda CR-V behind my motorhome, I had to run the car engine about every 2 hours to keep the battery from losing all charge. I found an easy solution in the battery charge kit RM-156-25 which used the power from the motorhome engine through the existing towing umbilical to keep the CR-V battery charged. Installation instructions were easy to follow and an etrailer.com online video gave an advanced look at the process. This saves me time and energy not having to jump or recharge the CR-V battery and also gives flexibility as to where and when I stop. If you don't have existing power available from the towing vehicle, a kit, RM-156-75, is available to provide that power. 377641
this does not isolate your battery from feeding back into your motorhome, this is simple a circuit breaker with a piece of wire and connectors. if it was a real kit it should have a protective diode to insure issues in the towed vehicle do not interfere with the charging system in your motorhome, as it is this is just a jumper between the alternator/battery in the motorhome and the alternator/battery in your towed vehicle. 477658
I ordered all the parts required to safely flat tow out 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk from etrailer.com. The only part they didn't have was the Mopar Flat Tow Enhancement kit Jeep requires to flat tow this model. Ordering from them was great, the website is easy to use and I was able to locate all the pieces compatible with my specific vehicle. The expert recommendations help my decision choosing the right parts. I ordered from etrailer even though I found some of the parts on other websites a little cheaper. I chose to pay a little more because of all the effort etrailer has put into installation videos and guides. I was very pleasantly surprised to learn from etrailer that they have a price match guarantee! So my equipment consisted of the following Mopar Flat Tow Enhancement Kit (from Jeep) Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles Mighty Cord 7-Way RV Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End WesBarg 7-Way, RV-Style Connector w/ 6' Long Coiled Cable Trailer End Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV Blade-Style Trailer Socket - Vehicle End Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar - Motor Home Mount - 6,500 lbs Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Blue Ox Tow Bar Cover - Aladdin, Aventa LX, Aventa II The installation videos are great but not all inclusive. Take the time to read the instructions that come with the parts. This is a major project, I took about 30 hrs over a full week but as you'll see in the pictures I took s few extra steps to make a cleaner look. Some of those extra steps: The base plate install requires the bumper be modified cutting off a flange on each side, I spray painted this to prevent corrosion. In the install video of the baseplate on the drivers side they use an extra quick link (not included) to run the safety cable around the wiper fluid reservoir. I took the time to remove it and run the safety cable behind it. I didn't want our nice new vehicle to look like it can be towed so I played the brake away switch and 7 way trailer plug behind the license plate, so when not being towed our vehicle looks great! Some things to be aware of. The Brake air cylinder that mounts to the brake pedal with four bolts may need longer bolts, it did on our Jeep. Spend the money for weather tight heat shrink crimp fittings. The Hopkins wire harness was about 1.5 feet short to get to my plug location. Buy extra zip ties, electrical tape and split loom. I recommend reading all the various installation manuals and watching all the videos because the various components integrate together and if you install one at a time you'll be doing a bunch of extra work. The brake light relay is a real pain in the butt, not because of the hardware but because of the location of the brake light switch which is very hard to get to. Overall I am very happy with the products and how the installation looks. We haven't towed it yet but do not expect any problems. 410271
Still very happy with our purchase. We’ve towed over 10k miles and have had zero issues with our tow setup. I’ve shared my experience with several other RVrs and recommended your company for their needs. Thank you,
Roy - 07/30/2018Very good service. William B was very helpful in getting me what I needed to hook up my GMC Terrain to my motorhome. Now, I have to install it all. Hopefully the installation instructions that William sent are as good as the rest of my ecperience with etrailer. 659338
Works great. Glad I went with the flat tow route rather than dolly. etrailer install videos made selection and installation as easy as possible. Will definitively use etrailer when setting up next tow vehicle. 658100
Easy to install 650398
Great customer service 641037
Product helped me hook the battery on my tow vehicle to charge it when being towed. The recommendation of doing the install during the mounting of baseplate saved a lot of work and time on the videos on etrailer. The corregated wire cover tends to let the wires slip out thus not a 5 star rating. 639352
Everything is doing very good. 635113

I couldn't be happier with my purchase - courteous, helpful service over the phone when ordering, prompt delivery, clear instructions, first-class product at a reasonable price. I was able to mount the solenoid and complete the wiring in less than an hour. Thanks for everything. Keep up the good work! 477833
