    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Truck to Camper Electrical

    Yea, I will probably try to put mine somewhere in the front divers side corner of my truck bed. Just not sure exactly what area might be accessible with the camper on the truck... Also, almost exactly where his is located is where there is this 6 pin female connector, with a cover that reads 6-...

    Awesome. I am going to order it all. I am not sure where I will route the wiring yet from the engine compartment to the bed of the truck. I also am not sure where to mount the powerposts. Ideally it would be nice to have the truck wired with the power post ready. That way, when I go get the...

    I have two starter batteries for truck and two batteries in camper, wouldn't I need a fuse for each positive line? So 4 fuses, or are these batteries treated as a bank (of two batteries) and therefore only need 1 fuse per bank? So right now my shopping list is (does it look correct?) : 30' ft...

    Thanks for all the input guys. I am a few hours from All Battery. So, I think I will go with the Blue Seas ACR, some 6 gage wire, and some connectors... as well as breaker at each battery (this means 4 breakers, 2 for truck battery and 2 for camper batteries..?) I am wondering if this is a...

    Okay. I think I got it. So I do not really need a bigger Alternator. With two deep cycle batteries for camper I do not think we will draw them all the way down. We are pretty conservative when camping. Really will only be using 12v fans and LED lights... Maybe water pump a few times as well. I...

    Okay. I am new and will be picking up a 1997 10' CO Alaskan in a few weeks. I drive a 99 Dodge 3/4 ton Diesel. I have firestone airbags on the back, as well as a Helwig rear sway bar. I also have new Rancho 5000 shocks all the way around. I also have the 2 inch leveling kit n my truck. I have...

    THanks alot so far guys. The camper does have an inverter so shore power should be taken care of. I think we will be on very long drives (12hours or more) with the camper and truck. Also, I doubt we will go to many "camp" grounds that have available shower power hookups, mostly the shore power...

    Do you have any pictures of your fuse assemblies at your batteries? Thanks for all the help thus far. I was looking at this : http://www.allbatterysalesandservice.com/browse.cfm/4,6120.html Does that product do the same thing as the Blue Sea product you mention? Also, b/c I will have 4...

    Thanks for the advice thus far. I am not sure what wiring you are referring to when you say "you will probably want some easy way to connect and disconnect any wiring not in the wire connector". Does this mean the plug in the bed of my truck will infact plug into the camper, and will be used for...

    Thanks Frank. As soon as I get the camper on the truck I will post some pictures. Where do you resize a photo? I have emailed the current owner of the Alaskan and asked if he had a battery separator. I remember him saying everything was wired on the "truck" side, he mentioned he had something...

    Okay. So my wife and I are going to be picking up an Alaskan in may. It is a 1997. Pretty excited! I want to make sure I do the right things to my truck to make this a easy and fun experience right from the start. I have a 1999 dodge 2500 diesel truck. The Alaskan camper comes with two AGM...
