How Does Battery of Chevy Equinox Get Charged when Flat Towed
Question:
Could not seem to find info on this. I am researching Toads and the Chevy Equinox states the battery must be charged while towing. We are looking to have a Blue Ox system installed, Obviously I have no idea how it works but Im sure there needs to be power run. Is it possible to automatically charge the dinghy? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
We have battery charge kits designed for vehicles that need to have a charge when they are being flat towed. For that we have the Roadmaster part # RM-156-25 which gives you a charge wire that will run from the battery of the towed vehicle to the tow bar wiring connector that the lights are controlled from. If the tow vehicle does not have a 12 volt accessory circuit active you'd need to use the part # RM-156-75 to run for its battery to the trailer wiring connector.
