Can Velcro be Used to Mount Circuit Breaker of ETBC7L in Cargo Area

Question

Question:

When installing the ETBC7L, can you mount the 40 amp breaker using Velcro? My RAV 4 Prime’s battery is located in the rear interior of the cargo area. I’d prefer not to drill holes?

It is possible to use Velcro to mount the circuit breaker of the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L.

That said, the mounting may not be highly secure when compared to using screws to attach the breaker, so while I'd recommend against it, this is something that is possible. If you do ahead and decide to use Velcro, I do recommend ensuring safety by covering the terminals with Liquid Electrical Tape # SWC50122.

We don't include covers with a kit like the #ETBC7L, #ETBC7 or #PK5231201 because we've found that you can cover the posts with electrical tape or a piece of air line and accomplish the same thing with parts that are typically available…

Answer 7

You can use that wire, but you will want to install the 40 amp breaker that came with your #ETBC7L. The Echo #C51180 won't pull that much power but the combination of the brake controller and the trailer would cause your 20 amp fuse to blow.
