Charge Line Kit for 2023 Chevy Suburban that is Flat Towed
Question:
I just got a 2023 Chevy Suburban Premier 5.3V8 gas i will flat tow, I am working on compiling the list of stuff i need, I already have some items from before. I know i need to disconnect battery while towing - i am intrigued how this will actually work with push start button without brake pedalinch in order to put it in ACC mode, then disconnect battery - that it will actually stay in acc mode seems rather odd. i have a Patriot 3 brake system, some source say to power it from the battery directly with an outlet kit, but it seems to me that doing this for 5 days in a row while crossing the country could drain my battery, perhaps a trickle charger could alleviate that. But - my specific question is, if i have the roadmaster 6 pin vehicle wiring kit, and my RV supplies auxiliary power, couldnt i just connect the outlet-kit to pin 2 aux/charge of that cable, and power my Patriot with that? I cant think of a reason this wont work - I know the RV has a decent aux current allowed.

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can run the 12 volt accessory circuit from your tow vehicle through the 6-way wiring to the towed vehicle battery to keep it topped off. We have a kit for this with the part # RM-156-25.
Since your battery gets disconnected when flat towed you would need to use the outlet kit part # RM-9332 to power the Blue Ox Patriot 3 part # BLU37TR.
