Maintains the battery charge on your towed vehicle while it is being flat towed. Uses up to 15 amps from your RV's battery.did not know how to attach these pictures to the site you provided in your email so I am sending to you like this. First, my overall rating is five stars. Second, the installation was not hard at all and took me less than an hour. Third, the lack of instructions leave a lot to an individual's imagination but with so many different vehicles I understand why. However, a link to the general instructions in your video file would help a lot.
These pictures show my installation of the battery maintainer on my 2014 Fiat 500 L.
Picture 1 is of the mounted fuse unit on the driver's side fender firewall.
Picture 2 shows the ground wire (White wire attached to the front quarter panel attachment bolt.
Picture 3 shows the Black wire attached to the Positive terminal on the battery.
Picture 4 shows the charge unit and fuse mounted on the driver's side fender firewall together.
Picture 5 shows the vehicle taillight wiring lines being followed down to the six way plug on the front of the towed vehicle.
etrailer was a great resource when setting up my 2021 Wrangler Islander for flat towing! The BrakeBuddy works great... we haven't had any problem with the battery at all. Would highly recommend it!
Kit does not have a diode to prevent back feeding Motor Home battery when stopped for the night or for meals while on the road. Requires unplugging to prevent drawing down Motor Home Battery while Motor Home engine is not running.
Katrina B - 12/08/2022Had it installed yesterday. Very well done but came with the flat connector instead of the round 6 pin connector so had to modify to include the battery charger. This company is not part of Blue Ox tow bar manufacturer which is confusing. It all checks out so think it will work good but above issues is why the 3 stars.
Katrina B - 08/15/2022Very easy and straightforward on the installation. I installed this myself, no issues or problems. Checked the system before flat towing…worked without issue.
2018 Open Road 36UA, flat towing 2020 Jeep Cherokee TrailHawk, using Brake Buddy 3
easy to install, I do hope it works once I get rolling!I chose this one over Roadmaster's because of the ease of install.
Working fine keeping the jeep battery charged while towing
Everything worked as expected. Install videos were spot in
Easy install.Followed the videos and bam!tow my f150 about 7000 miles no problem
Thank you for the quick turnaround and great communication!
Haven’t installed yet, however a few pages of printed instructions would have been nice. 2ndly your tracking was not terrible good, but your follow up call was refreshing.
Jenny N - 06/11/2022Arrived Quickly and was very easy to install along with the baseplate and taillight wiring
Great produce and super easy to install. would give it 5 stars if it was set up for 3 wire instead of two. I love the plug and play but since Hopkins went that far, doesn't seem like much more effort to make it 3 wire, or at lease make the additional diode kit also plug and play. Still very happy with this and etrailer is wonderful to work with. it arrived sooner than was expected.
Home - 08/06/2021I received everything on time, and with the sales person help I also ordered the correct parts .
Be sure to follow instructions. The wire colors do not follow normal thought. Works awesome for many months and about 3000 miles.
As with all orders from you, it was as expected. Thank you for rapid shipment and correct items.
Works great to keep our toad battery ch arged.
Product was reasonably priced and came as advertised
So, I purchase this kit from you and you and when asking for instructions on you say there are NO Instructions from the manufacturer". So how do you all propose I proceed? So NO wiring diagram, NOTHING???
Sure NOT the kind of service I come to expect from etrailer.
Heather A - 07/02/2021Excellent easy to install
Very stratified with the etrailer company...tech service very helpful, videos are great, fast service dedicated customer...
I called etrailer before to conclude my order on internet. Got every infos I needed. I received everything I ordered in Canada 1 day faster then expected. Very satisfied.
Camella very helpful and friendly and her help was greatly appreciated in completing my order.
Tammie P was very helpful and knew the products. Everything I needed was available and shipped very quickly. Order arrived in 3 days.
Put this in my towed Chevy HHR to allow me to keep the power on so my brake lights would illuminate when the Brake-Buddy applied the brakes. Works great and install was very easy.
