This discussion brought up a question I've been wondering about..if your TV is plugged into the TT you can run off the TV batteries...will this also charge the TV batteries when the TT is plugged into AC or running off generator?
Yes. as long as there is no disconnect feature on the truck. My 7 pin is live all the time.
That is where my third battery comes from.. My truck has a camper/accesorie package and uses a battery just for the 7 pin. I have a seperate starting battery.
So when boon docking my truck is always plugged in. My solar and or gen will charge the truck battery too along with RV batts.
I can get a bit over 15 amps through the 7 pin if I needed to charge the RV batts from the truck. On the chevys of my year too the ECM controls the volts and I get 14.5 volts at the 7 pin.
Just a note there is an isolator that seperates starting and aux battery..
