Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit Installation - 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited- Video
Today on our 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, we will be having a look and installing the Roadmaster battery charge line kit for towed vehicles, part number RM-156-25. Here's what our towed vehicle charge line kit looks like installed. As you can see it's a simple circuit breaker connection, which goes over the positive terminal of our battery. Then we have a wire that goes out towards the front of our Jeep, which will tie into our six way connector on the front of it for our vehicle's towed lighting system and will be charged off of the port of the back of the RV when it's being flat towed behind it. Now this is a great thing to have because our Jeep when it's being flat towed behind the motor home, does require the key to be in the ignition in the accessory position so the steering wheel doesn't lock. And because of that some electrical systems in the car are still receiving power and the battery will eventually be run down because the engines not running, so the alternator can't recharge the battery. Also, since we're using a portable braking system in this Jeep, which may be in yours as well. more

Roadmaster Flexo-Coil Kit Installation - 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited- Video
Today in our 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, we'll be having a look at installing the RoadMaster 7-wire to 6-wire Flexo-Coil kit, part number RM-146-7. Here's what our wiring looks like installed. It mounts nicely to our baseplate. We have this nice dust cover here that snaps shut, spring-loaded action. It seals tightly against our connector here, to keep the dirt and the elements outside of it. It also will secure our six-pole round connector inside with this latch right here, so we don't have to worry about it getting disconnected by any forward movement on it. This connector, coupled with the 7-way to 6-pole adaptor, will transmit the signals from our RV to our Jeep, allowing us to have functional tail-lights, turn signals, and brake lights, in conjunction with the RV working in unison, treating our Jeep as a trailer, so all of our lights, that are required by law, work properly while we're flat-towing behind our RV. Because our 6-function is built in here, you could also use it for a monitor light situation on your RV, for when the vehicle's brakes are applied in this supplemental braking system or you could also have a charge line adaptor work for it as well, to charge your vehicle's battery whilst being towed behind your RV. Now, my favorite thing about this kit is that it's a complete package. Not only do you get your 7-way to your 6-way adaptor, but you get your 6-way connector here to put on the front of your vehicle. more
