Question:
Is there an installation system that can provide power to the patriot braking system. My 2012 CRV car battery drains during long drives to the point I run the risk of not being able to start the car. Is there a way to use the running RV electrical system to keep the dingy and dingy braking system charged while driving?

Expert Reply:
We actually have a kit that includes everything you'd need to put a maintenance charge on your vehicle as you flat tow it. For that you'd want the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit part # RM-156-25. The charge line can be installed on the 12 volt pin for each trailer connector.
This will allow your Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR to still draw power from the vehicle battery but also not drain it.
