Hi all,
Well for better or worse we traded the Hilux and changed it for a new MY14 Mitsubishi Challenger.
Couple of reasons for the change and hope we have made the correct choice, but only time will tell.
Now that we are back to square one with the tug setup what should we do?
In the Hilux we had a dual battery setup with an Anderson plug to the rear for the van.
On this car, they put a 7pin flat, so have to change the plug on the tug to suit, but here is the dilemma.... Do I change it to a 7pin flat and then have an Anderson added to the car, or do I change it to a 12pin and just have the one plug?
The van's fridge at the moment is hooked up to the van battery and the Anderson from the battery to the car. It worked okay on the Hilux, but didn't seem to charge so the low voltage disconnect I had the fridge hooked to cut out quite often.
I am considering putting the fridge through the low voltage disconnect and then that straight to the car. My concern is the LVD is set at 12volt cut out (can change it to lower) - is 12v still okay for the car battery to start the car? Should I be getting rid of the LVD and just getting the auto elec to wire the plug through a voltage sensing relay to only be on when the car is running?
What are people's thoughts and suggestions? I will get some pics of the car over the weekend and post them up when I have a chance.
