Expert Reply:
The 40 amp Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D will not interfere with the 7-way on your vehicle, though it is recommended to route separate wiring to the charger so that enough power gets to it, as a 7-way uses smaller gauge wire. So due to this you can use both at the same time if you'd like, though a 7-way will only maintain smaller batteries instead of charging them. So for charging batteries you will want to use the 40 amp Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D.
Along with the charger, you will want to fuse-protect it with the MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 40-Amp BCDC Battery Charger # 331-FK60.
