How Does Trailer Battery Normally Wire to Trailer

Question:

I have a 1999Jayco coach 10, which does not currently have a battery. I want to add one so i can use the propane fridge and furnace apparently you need power to start, and am unsure how. It has a normal 4 pin trailer wire coming out, but it also has a 6 pin female receptical. I know i can buy the six pin adapter from you, but how do i connect it to the battery to make this work?

You'd only need to run the battery to your trailer wiring if the goal was to put a maintenance charge on the battery as you tow. If you only wanted to power accessories with the trailer it would not be needed and you'd just have to run the trailer accessories to the battery and you'd be done. A 4-way connector would not have a 12 volt charge circuit that you could run to a battery anyway and you'd have to convert that to a 7-way with the 7-way conversion kit # HS381-9000.
