Can Curt T-Connector # C56040 be Used to Charge Trailer Battery
Question:
Will this part be able to charge my batteries on our popup camper while driving?
asked by: WILLIAM G
Expert Reply:
You can use the Curt T-Connector # C56040 to start with for trailer wiring that will allow you put a maintenance charge on your trailer battery but you'll also need an adapter to convert it to a 7-way so that you could then run the charge cable. You'd need the adapter part # 37185 and then 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) ran from the black wire through a breaker part # 9510 to the positive battery post of the vehicle.
