Question for those using an 8 ga. charge line.
When running an 8 ga. wire for battery charging in a TT application, will the thicker wire fit into the 7 way plug ? ( or is it limited to the smaller 12 ga. wire ? )
The only TT that I used WD bars was my 37 ft TT and my 30 ft TT on a factory sprung 250. All my other trailers were under 6k and I didn't use WD bars.
Today, I can tow my loaded up 6000# TT using WD bars or not using them . I can't notice a difference on my set up when im towing . I do use a friction sway control for passing trucks and crosswinds.
I tow using a 250 pickup with 2 added leaf springs in my pack. When I hitch up my approx. 700# hitch weight, my truck only drops 1/2" to 3/4" and I do not see too much difference in the front end height, maybe 1/4" .
When the transporter towed it to the dealership, he didn't use equalizer bars .
