Can Trailer with Brakes Be Towed by Vehicle without a Brake Controller Installed
Question:
I have another question, hope you can help. I just bought a 2010 River Forest Rockwood Pop Up Camper, Model 2318G. It has a power lift for the roof. Does the camper converter keep the on board 12 volt battery charged when the AC power cord is plugged in? Or does one have to charge the battery on it's own?

I don't think I fully understand what you are asking. What are you wanting to disconnect?

Jameson, I have a pop up that has brakes installed. My tow vehicle does not have a brake controller. Can I just hook up the 7 pin connector and go, or is there something I need to disconnect?
