I’m hoping someone with a FWC on this era F250 could lay out or post some pictures of how they’ve done their truck to camper wiring.
We just got a used F250 and I took the wiring off of our old 1 gen Tundra. Under the hood, the negative wire had been connected/screwed in to the frame while the wire from the positive terminal first goes to a Pollak circuit breaker before a second wire leads from the other pole on the circuit breaker back to the female Atwood trolling motor 3wire receptacle.
A green wire leads from the third wire on the receptacle back to a Scotchlok tapped in to the left rear license plate light.
There appear to be several other grounded wires screwed into the firewall just behind the battery on the passenger side of the F250. Can I just add my negative/ground to one of these?
The circuit breaker had been wired with the silver pole attached to the truck battery side while the copper pole led to the camper. Per eTrailers website, they suggest the opposite. Does anyone have some guidance on the best way to run this?
For the running lights that are tapped into the rear license plate light, does anyone tap into the 7-pin harness maybe somewhere closer to the plug? The back side of the Ford’s license plate bulb seems pretty exposed and I’m hoping to make a splice in a little more protected location.
Here’s a pic of the battery area under the hood with what I think are the neutral grounds circled.
Thanks in advance for any pictures or commentary on how anyone has done this before. I’m hoping to keep using what I took off the old truck since it was installed only a year ago.
Cheers.
