It sounds like you have a solid plan!
To power your 12v fan I recommend replacing your 6-way connector with the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector # HS381-9000 which gives you a nice junction box to make all of your wiring connections, and will allow you to run power wires from the 12v pin of the 7-way connector to your 12v fan and accessory lights.
Keep in mind that this circuit is not made to power too many things at once, so if you have... view full answer...
It sounds like you are looking for an adapter like the Pollak 7-Way to 12V Power Outlet # PK11896. This will plug into a 7-Way on the vehicle and provide a 12V plug on the other end that can be used with 12V accessories.
In order to then convert this for use with a household 110V AC power outlet like it seems like you are wanting to do, you will need to plug in a power inverter like the Scosche InVert Portable Power Inverter # 332-PI130 to the Pollak Outlet. Just note that if you are... view full answer...
Basically you'd need to run the power wire for the lighting and accessories to the same wire that runs to the 12 volt battery to charge it from the trailer wiring. This basically will allow you to power the circuit at any given time but when connected to the tow vehicle it's going to pull from the tow vehicle's charge circuit. This also will put a maintenance charge on the battery when towing like you wanted as well. view full answer...
The ArkPak 715 Portable Power Station w/ 150 Watt Inverter - 120V # AP715US has a 120V outlet (150 watt max) along with a 12V outlet (10 amp) that can be used to power accessories. ArkPak states that you can use these outlets to power a fridge/freezer, although heavy appliances are not recommended as this will drain the battery quickly, and the battery may not be able to safely power high wattage accessories.
Since you are wanting to power a mini fridge, it will likely be fine since it... view full answer...
You need the switched wire to be connected to a constant power source in your situation otherwise it will not turn on. The keyed power source on stereos is what tells the stereo to turn on when you turn the key on of the vehicle. So you need it to have power basically all the time so that it can turn on and off when needed using the power switch of it instead. view full answer...
All of the available winches run off of a 12V power source or 120V power source and do not run off 110V. The best way to use a winch is to use a 12V battery but if you do not have a 12V power source then you can use a converter to convert the 110V to 12V, which would then be compatible with an electric 12V winch. I would look into Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger - 12V - 60 Amps # PD9160A which plugs into a 110V wall outlet and provides terminals to install... view full answer...
Once installed, the # ETBC7 provides an active 12-volt circuit that can be used to provide a maintenance charge to a trailer mounted battery or minimal power for interior lighting.
The 12-volt circuit from the 7-way lacks the capacity to charge a depleted battery or to power much in the way of accessories. Trailer mounted accessories are usually powered by trailer mounted batteries, or by shore power when its available. When the batteries need a charge, you'd use shore power and a charger... view full answer...
1000 watts is 8.33 amps at 12 volts which would easily be supplied by the alternator of your 2018 Honda CR-V. Most alternators put out almost 10 times as much amperage than that. view full answer...
Yes you can use a # 331-BCDC1225D with the 12 volt accessory circuit of your 7-way for charging your trailer battery. The input current max for this is 25 amps which would be right around what a 7-way accessory circuit could provide. view full answer...
What you can use is the part # HM11147650 to get the power and ground circuits from the 7-way and then use the inverter part # DU78FR to convert the 12 volt signal to a 120 volt receptacle like what you need to power your tools. view full answer...
The best option would be to use the Roadmaster 12-volt Outlet Kit, # RM-9332.
This kit is was designed to be used as a way to connect the 12-volt connection on supplemental braking systems used when flat towing a vehicle behind a motor coach. What I like about this kit is it has a 20 amp fuse wire inline of the outlet. The outlet has a two wire application, one to ground and the other, with the inline fuse, to 12-volt power.
Power supply to the trailer can be run through the 12-volt... view full answer...
For a 12V socket with fuse, I recommend the Hopkins 12-Volt Power Socket with Power Wire and Fuse Assembly, # HM55115. This socket will allow for a larger fuse if you upgrade the 14 gauge wire to 10 gauge like # 10-1-1. This will take some customizing as these 12V systems are typically made for 20 amp capacity. You will add the red wire to the battery and use the inline fuse assembly and then attach the white wire to ground. I've attached a review video as well as an installation video... view full answer...
The Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger # PD9160ALV is capable of putting out 60 amps which would easily be enough to charge a 200 ah LifePo battery and would also have amperage left over to operate 12 volt DC accessories but it really depends on what accessories you have and what their amperage rating is. view full answer...
I recently asked Curt if the Curt Echo part # C51180 allows the 12 volt accessory circuit to pass through from the tow vehicle wiring to the trailer wiring and they said yes that it did so your battery on your trailer will still charge. view full answer...
Yes, the 12 volt accessory circuit of trailer wiring is normally what powers the interior lights of a trailer like the part # 398SB. view full answer...
The 12 volt accessory circuit of a 7-way trailer wiring socket isn't always active from the factory and also isn't always needed so you may not have any problems. If you don't have any accessories than run off of this circuit like trailer interior lighting or a battery to charge you can just leave it not connected.
If you do need this circuit active you can run a length of 10 gauge wire from the pin with part # 10-1-1 (which we sell by the foot) up to the positive post of the battery through... view full answer...
Basically you would just need to run everything including the generator to the trailer battery as this will ensure that when the generator is running it would be powering everything as well as charging the battery but when the generator isn't running the smaller accessories could still power from the battery. Sounds like you have a generator already, but we have AC units like the Furrion part # FR92PR as well as batteries like the # 34277606.
We don't have any wiring diagrams, but like... view full answer...
Normally the 12 volt power circuit of a tow vehicle is rated for 40 amps so the answer to your question should be yes, but you would need to check the fuse of the 12 volt accessory circuit on your vehicle to verify if you have the amperage needed for your jack.
It is very common that powered A-frame jacks are powered by the 12 volt power circuit of a vehicle. view full answer...
The 12 volt accessory circuit of your 7-way does need to be active for the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180. There must have been a short from a different circuit to this circuit on your 7-way that was allowing it to power on earlier. It's actually really interesting that this happened. I would see if maybe your running light circuit is shorting out to it or something else that could have been on the other day.
You'll want to run 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) through a breaker... view full answer...
There is a limit to the power wires brought into the cab of your 2018 Ford Explorer Limited. If you choose to tap into one of the existing wires, I recommend tapping into the 12V radio power wire so you do not disrupt other functions of the vehicle.
For best results, I highly recommend you add a 12V power wire using # 10-1-1 and a 40 amp circuit breaker like # 9510. This will require drilling into your firewall unless you can find a grommet that already exists that will allow that wire.... view full answer...
