• Does Blue Wire of BCDC Charger Need to be Connected to Ignition for 2021 Chevy Silverado Install
  According to my research your 2021 Chevy Silverado will have the variable voltage where the alternator adjusts output based off of demand. This means you need to connect the blue wire of the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D to the ignition on your pickup. If you don't already have the wiring and fuses you need we have a few packages you can choose from for that as well. If you plan on overlanding then use kit # e89ZR but if you'll be using it for a standard trailer...

• Will Alternator Charge 4 6V Batteries
  Your alternator is designed to send a charge back to a source so as long as you have 2 sets of the 6V batteries wired in series and then you connect those 2 sets in parallel (see attached photo) you will retain that 12V system and your alternator will interact with your battery bank just fine. I do recommend using a battery charger like the Redarc BCDC # 331-BCDC1225D to make sure your battery bank gets the correct charge. You can find all of the wiring and connections needed for this...

• Does 12V Power Fuse Need to Bed Pulled for Trailer Towing with a 2021 Jeep Gladiator
  Yes, you can pull the F36 or F37 fuse (which ever is for the 12V power) to keep the battery on your trailer from draining the battery on your 2021 Jeep Gladiator. It's definitely one of those 2 fuses but I'm not 100% sure which one so you'll just need to test on your end. With that being said, normally the thought is to have the 12V power pushing a charge back to the battery while you're towing since the alternator is sending back a charge and then to prevent the 12V power from going to...

• Best Way to Charge Trailer Battery Using Vehicle Battery
  You will want to use a marine battery in addition to the Hopkins Engager # 20400 because you want a dedicated battery for your breakaway brake function. If your marine battery was depleted and the pin pulled for the breakaway system then this means your trailer brakes won't activate. The ProMar1 DS Digital charges a battery when plugged into AC power (like a standard wall outlet) so you will need something different to charge while in transit. For that I recommend the Redarc In-Vehicle...

  I have a way for you to test and see if your 2007 Nissan Xterra has a smart alternator (I doubt it does), but I unfortunately don't have a list of what vehicles have a smart alternator so it will require you to do some testing: 1. Locate your main vehicle battery 2. Start the engine, ensuring any fans, radio, lights etc. are turned off. 3. Take a voltage reading across the main vehicle battery 4. Leave running for around 5/10 minutes, then repeat step 3 If your readings are around 14.4V...

  Great question! The 12V power supply on your 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500 Duramax will power interior lights and basically provide a trickle charge to your trailer battery bank to keep it from casually dropping but there just isn't enough power to actively charge the batteries - for that you need a battery charger.

• Interior Lighting Suggestions for Boy Scout Enclosed Cargo Trailer
  Let's begin with the spotlight you want to point out the rear of the trailer. Aries makes an inexpensive LED Off-Road light bar as part # AA1501260. For the interior lights, the best light kit will depend on what exactly you're using the trailer for. Assuming you just need general lighting for loading and unloading the trailer when it's dark, I'd recommend using two or more of the # 328-K-0054B LED utility lights. These would mount to the sidewall up at the ceiling, and would point downward...
