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.

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
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
Ordered 3 parts: RM-156-25; RM-156-75 and DW05745-10. All received very quickly, as is the case when I purchase from etrailer. More importantly, I get a 'live person' when I call for assistance and the service rep. is always knowledgable ( not an answering service that "will have someone call back". Time was spent with me answering all my questions and providing suggestions and opinions when I as for them, related to my project. Great company, great service - keep up the great work! 693892
So happy to have found this product. It will keep my Dinghy tow car battery charged up. The people at etrailer were very nice and helpful. 675094
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.
--I installed this baseplate on my 2003 Honda CRV myself. It was a challenge for an inexperienced mechanic but successful in spite of that. Following the clear instructions, the unit fit well into the CRV chassis. Installing it myself has also given me confidence in towing that I may not have had by giving that task to someone else. I wired the CRV and RV 6 way and 7 way connectors including power to charge the CRV's battery while towing. After towing the car for several thousand miles, I am very satisfied with the base plate, tow bar, and installation. 681269
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 bought and installed base plate and wiring on a 2018 Ford C-Max hybrid car. The wiring was a little complicated due to the hybrid setup on the car, however, everything worked out well. I have done this on several other cars I have towed behind my motorhomes. All products and help from etrailer.com was excellent. The video presentation was very helpful. 681635
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,
The 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
Great company fast service 727099
I am completely impressed and satisfied with this incredible product. Fits perfectly on my F150 and installed with ease. I was most impressed by the quick response and service of etrailer, it shows they truly value and care about customer needs. 721646
Very good product and the installation video was excellent on your website. I will continue buying products from etrailer due to the videos - very informative! 719002
Great product and great people to deal with. 714091
I got this product in order to hook up a way to charge my car being pulled by my A class motor home. The product was received the way it was described on the web site. I have yet to get it hooked up but I see no problem with this seemly it looks to be quite an easy project. I have ordered several items from etrailer and have never been disappointed with their items. i will order from them again. 705483
Too much money for three terminal connectors and wire that was too short to reach from battery to receptacle. Had use my own wire. Why a circuit breaker instead of a fuse holder that would not have exposed terminals? 698166
Good kit I think the wire should be about 2ft longer a one size larger 696891
2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited...kit was complete and easy to install. Still installed and working one year later! 695712

Comes with instruction sheet as well 682901
Great customer service 683030
The wire gauge seemed light to me so I substituted a heavier wire (probably unnecessary), but otherwise I was very satisfied with this product and the usual great service I received from etrailer.com. 681543
Great Service Jerry J 672630
I am glade the products are available. I am happy with the guick shipping & delivery. However, there are a couple of issues with the rectifier I received with the towed vehicle charge kit I recever for my Chev Spark. 1. 2 self tapping screws were included in the kit. However, there are no tabs on the rectifier for the screws to attach the rectifier to the car. 2. The posts on the rectifiers are to long for attaching one ring terminal. 3. There should be rubber or plastic cover for the terminals to prevent accidentally shorting them. Other then these issues, I am grateful for the kits, if they work as planned it will be great. One less thing to do when towing my Chev Spark. I hope these issues will help improve your product. 664411
First, the customer service was excellent! Then after installation we have taken a long trip totaling over 1000 miles. The longest leg of the trip was almost 8 hours driving. The charge line worked perfectly, and we had no problems whatsoever with the battery! What a relief from having a dead battery at the end of each trip! 663782
Very 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
Great Products , Fast courteous Service and would recommend to All 621538

Nice add on to help keep my tow vehicle battery charged. Also good to use for direct connection to auxiliary breaking system if your vehicle requires the battery to be disconnected when towing. 615996

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
