Trailer Tester Battery Replacement for Part Number 8010

The best way to determine if your 2012 Toyota Highlander has a factory tow package is to have a Toyota dealer run the VIN number in their computer system. They can tell you how the vehicle is equipped that way. If they say you do not have the tow…

I recommend a 12 volt car battery rather than a breakaway battery because you may end up needing the larger battery down the road. What you will do is attach a battery box (see link for options) to the trailer frame. From the trailer side 7-Way…

It is not normal for the breakaway switch on your travel trailer to be wired directly to the trailer battery. Instead, it should have its own battery. I recommend adding a breakaway kit like the #20400 along with a rechargeable 12V battery. This kit…
