Recommendation for Installing the Redarc BCDC Battery Charger for Truck Bed Camper
Question:
2014 GMC 3500 Diesel Dually, 2 batteries using a 990 Arctic Fox truck camper. Im confused as to how/where you connect this to the truck so the trucks alternators charge the campers batteries. Is it thru the 7 way plug? A separate plug?

For your 2014 GMC 3500 the second battery does require a charger like the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 40 Amp # 331-BCDC1240D which is a great option. This is a customer favorite as well as a personal favorite but it does require cables, fuses # 331-FK60, and connectors sold separately. I recommend using the Bulldog Winch Wiring Kit for ATV/UTV Winches - 120" Long Power Lead # BDW20307 which does have the connectors as well. I've attached some videos to assist.
