If you wanted to wire the 6" Oscillating Fan 12-Volt # PTW1658 to your trailers wiring you'd need to run it to the 12 volt accessory circuit as this circuit is designed for powering accessories like this or interior lights.

I recommend the Rear View Safety Wireless Backup Camera System, part # RVS-155W. This system comes with a 7" monitor with 5" dual screen display. This is a wireless camera with no interference for up to 70 feet and 18 Infrared lights for night vision.

Either way is correct. It depends on if you want to keep the semi-style 7-Way (if you need to tow that type of trailer) or if you will never be towing a semi-trailer. If you need to keep the 7-Way semi active on the truck, then you would need to make…
