The assumption is that your umbilical for your tail lights and turn signals provides the ground to ground connectivity so you don't have to worry about that.willald wrote:lanerd wrote:
A simple fix is to install a simple on/off switch in place of the fuse.

..Or, install a charge line between MH and the CRV, and never have to worry about the toad's battery again, nor have to reset clocks or radio settings or have to flip any switch or pull any fuse.
. . .
$10 for various parts needed to run a charge line (fuse, #10 wire, connectors, etc.) is MUCH cheaper than a car battery that'll run you $80-100 when you have to replace it before its time.
Is it just a POS to POS connection between the MH and TOAD batteries (with a fuse on each end)? Is it a perminent setup or do you have a middle section that plugs the two vehicles together that can be removed when not towing?
