Folks, just let this thread die and fall off the edge of the internet by not posting to it.. Looks like the OP has a "history" of posts which wastes good folks time and energy on pointless and endless "fantasies" type of made up scenarios..

I did just that.... This guy should be the next President. :W

And you had the nerve to call someone an A$$hole in this thread. Troll.

Look up in the sky, its a bird, its a plane, no its......Super Hippy; and other fictional tales.

I believe we have solved your original problem.

Good luck

Yes you are right. He did say he had a brake controller. So as far as I'm concerned operating the slide without a house battery, is far down the line on things to worry about as opposed to operational safety equipment!

I hope the OP considers all this. It's not like the trailer is parked permanently at a campground, he said that he tows it, so all safety systems need to function properly.

OK. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt until you posted this! Now you`re just Trolling. I really can`t believe you are almost a senior member and make a statement like this, and not knowing you have to have a breakaway system in place for the breaks to work in case of a disconnect! :M

Posting stuff like this even if perhaps it is "jest" IS NOT GOING TO HELP YOUR "credibility" here..

It makes you sound incredibly stupid or your entire post from the beginning is nothing more than a bored troll seeing if you can stir up the pot..

Any way you cut it now, I am completely done trying to assist, you are officially on my ignore list..

yeah, nice troll post thehippie. You could have done a little better to not make it look so obvious.

This thread really should be locked or deleted.

Where are yu?? Need to know so I can be somewhere else. If a need for those brakes occurs, I don't want to be anywhere close!

Brakes r fine. they work even if it has no batteries. i've tested them.

Nope. Without a battery the brakes will not engage if the trailer becomes separated from the truck power supply. I am not aware of it being legal to tow like this in any of the 81 states, two districts, 10 provinces or 3 territories of North America. Course, I could be wrong. 🙂

regular brakes work. what u prolly meant is the emergency brakes.

I may be misunderstanding what kind of unit this is. I am assuming it is a towable. There is no emergency brake on a towable (that I know of). If the towable separates from the tow vehicle a pin is pulled out of a device which allows a set of contacts to close which provides 12 volts from the towable battery to the regular brake magnets of the trailer and causes them to engage the regular (read normal or service) brakes. I am not aware of any other brakes on a towable. Are we talking about a towable or some kind of motorized RV.

I think the OP is calling the "Break away" brakes "emergency brakes"..

Your thinking "emergency brakes" as in a vehicle you drive..



Vehicle brakes now days are no longer called "emergency brakes" instead they are called "parking brakes" and often now days would most likely cause an accident if you tried to use them to stop you in a situation of service brake failure since the mech that ratchets would be hard to control without locking your vehicles tires..

From reading and deciphering the very cryptic posts of the OP, they tested the brakes using the brake controller..

BUT if I read it right, they have never ever hooked up or tested the BREAK AWAY SYSTEM on the trailer.

That is my concern and should be everyone's concern..

If you can't use your 7-pin connector because you stated it blows up the truck towing fuse, how the hell do your TT service brakes and lights work when you are towing? Osmosis electrical connections have not been invented for RVs yet.

Everything you have stated adds up to BS.

He might be saying that if he tries to use the slide out with the truck hooked up, the truck's fuse blows. That would make sense since the slide motor has only the truck's power through the umbilical to operate. He has no operating battery. The draw of the motor exceeds the size of the fuse in the truck.

Trying to diagnose some of these 12 V electrical issues from a keyboard can be problematic, especially if the information given is not close to full or complete.

Fair point.
