Question:
The Highlights shown are incorrect for this device. What are the RVI74FR electrical features. Why would I use it instead of a wire and fuse from the tow vehicle?

Hey Tom, the big advantage of the Curt RVibrake Towed Battery Charger+ for Flat Towing # RVI74FR that you referenced over just a wire ran to the battery to maintenance charge it is that this offers ability to monitor the status wirelessly. I see what you mean though as the description takes a hard left turn into taking about a breakaway system when this is a charge system.
