Converting a 3-Way Northland Truck Camper Wiring Harness to a 4-Way Flat
Question:
I need to hook up a 30 amp 12VDC plus and minus connections to the front plug on my Truck Camper. The camper came with a 3 pin flat connector on it. One for Battery Plus, one for battery Minus and one for the running lights. The Wires for the Battery connection are #8 or #10 and the Running light wire is #14 or #16. I cant find a 3 pin flat connector with wires on it that size...the Manufacturer Northland doesnt use that style anymore so Ill have to convert it to something else most likely. Help appreciated

Expert Reply:
What you can do is to use the Quick FixTM 4 Pole Flat Car and Trailer Ends, # 48195, and not use one of the pins since you only have three wires that need to be connected. You can then use the wire you need inside of them as needed. The wires that run to the battery are most likely 10 gauge like # 10-1-1. The remaining wire is probably a 16 gauge like # DW02359-1.
