Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit Installation - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, we're going to be showing you how to install the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles, part number is RM-156-25.Now this charge line kit is really important on these GM vehicles with the steering wheel lock situation, you have to leave your key on. Even though you turn off the fan, you turn off the air, you turn off the radio, it still drains the battery. This allows us to take power from our red wire that we've got connected to the 12 volt power source on the back of our RV, that goes through a breaker and we've got it connected right here to our positive battery cable.This gives us a trickle charge effect. As we're driving down the road, the battery's constantly getting a little bit of a charge and a little bit of a charge to keep it up and maintained. The breaker is in place to help prevent any kind of overloading. If you're vehicle, maybe you've left the radio on or you've left the fan blowing, it's going to be drawing power from your battery of course.That excess draw will cause this breaker to heat up slightly and disconnect power temporarily until that system cools back down and it'll make contact again, so it's a very safe and very effective way to charge your battery while you're flat towing.The first step in the installation is going to be to get our breaker mounted. more
