I recently returned to Florida while flat towing my JT. I drove a stretch 18 hours long. I reached a rest stop and caught 6 hours sleep. I woke up to a completely dead battery in the JT. Apparently, the Jeep battery was not wired up to the charging circuit on my tow vehicle. I guess there are two options here ( both tie into the charge pin on the F450 7 pin connector) 1. Purchase a Towed Vehicle Charger from RVi for $85 and connect to the main battery terminals. 2. Just run a power wire directly to the battery.
What is your experience? Ever have a battery die after running the simple charge wire? Ever overcharge a battery? Should the RVi box provide protections needed?
