tow hitch wiring?

 

[Santiago Casanova]

Getting warm.

 

[Santiago Casanova]

I could not find a robust enough product for what I wanted to do, so I built this to handle up to 40 amps at 12vdc.

For a continuous duty winch?

Colder.

I use an RFRM or an RTMR by Bussman. The relays are up to 40amps if it remember correctly in the MINI format. Plus you fuse it all in a waterproof container..

I don't need a fuse center for this. I have one under the hood. This goes at the end of a 30 amp circuit. This mounts under the back of the truck. The fuses are for providing further isolation.

The relays are 40amp hellas. They are very robust.

But what is it for?

Backup lights for the chippers and trailers that will fry the retinas of the unwary.

 

[skygear]

We give up

 

[chiselbit]

Yes. Tell us what it is so I can go buy one. I know I need it, whatever it is.

Power for LED Floodlights working later on short winter days.

 

[skygear]

We have tons of accessories. Shower(s), Air, propane, lights 360°, awning, stove, refrigerator, solar, and more...

 

[Santiago Casanova]

Any more guesses? It is for towing. It has a purpose and many benefits. Especially is you tow somebody else's trailer or back a trailer into water and forget to disconnect the lights first.

 

[Santiago Casanova]

You can buy a similar product. It is only rated for 8 amps and it is solid state. Mine is purely electro-mechanical. I also left space to add a relay and fuse.

Trailer brakes and or battery charging of RV or accessory batteries?

Not for the brakes. They come from a controller. Accessory circuit has its own 30 amp fuse.

This could be run off of the accessory circuit or its own 30 amp circuit.

 

[Gorman]

Fucking Christ! Just tell us!

Is it gonna run a hydraulic pump for something on a trailer? Little crane or lift?

 

[CutHighnLetFly]

Has to do with shitty wiring on a trailer not blowing fuses or something on your truck?
