Expert Answers about Living Room Accessories
- Preventing Trailer Mounted Battery from Draining Battery on Tow Vehicle
- A trailer mounted battery is typically maintained by the 12-volt accessory circuit from the 7-way trailer connector. If the accessory circuit on your 7-way is live even when the ignition is shut off, it is possible that the battery on your truck could be discharged. If shutting off the ignition shuts down that circuit, you will have no worries.
If the circuit is live with the ignition off, you can unplug the trailer, disconnect the 12-volt accessory circuit from the trailer mounted battery,...

- If the 12v pin is connected to your trailer batteries and there isn't anything in place to prevent power from back feeding then the pin will remain live. If you install a diode # RM-690 in between the trailer battery and 7-way 12v pin it won't be able to back feed past the diode.

- According to a Certified GMC Tech I checked with, your 2020 GMC Sierra will not register the towed miles if your dashboard is not "live". Meaning, if you do not have the ignition on or in the accessory position when flat towing there will be no power to the electronic items that register the rotation/movement of the wheels.
To flat tow your 2020 GMC Sierra, you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. If you need some...

- A wind fairing really won't help to stop the noise coming from a ski rack, as it won't direct the air flow over the rack. The whistling is likely mostly coming from between the bars where it clamps onto your skis, but also on the top of the ski rack.
While any accessory on top of your roof is going to make some noise, if you really cannot live how bad the whistling is (like on longer trips), then the only other thing I can think of would be to stop using the ski rack and instead put your...

- Bolting on the EcoHitch 2-inch hitch # 306-X7221 on your 2018 Nissan Leaf will not void your vehicle warranty.
When you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act.
