Ha! I would do the LEDs if I only had the one trailer. But I also kind of enjoy the learning process of stuff like this. We also have another identical truck that’s getting the same thing done over Memorial Day. We will see how this goes.
Definitely not going to mess with trailer brakes. If it was a longer haul I might.. but for this, no way. I just don’t want the boat or new to me camper to get rear ended by a DD.
The converters each have 2 wires. HOWEVER, after scouring the forums more and more, I saw someone post about 2 24v relays and one buck converter.. I bought enough of everything to try both. I will update with what I did and what works.
Could any of you tell me exactly what wires from my nato plug I need to use and where they go on a 7 blade.. I have read about every page on here and gotten nothing concrete. Here’s what I think. Please correct me.
D-> white
E-> brown
M-> yellow
N-> green
I’ll have brake lights, turn signals...
I am currently one of those non DOT compliant when towing. I know the LEOs and the rangers don’t mess with us purely because if they did, they would get the calls to pull people out. They don’t wanna deal with that. However, I like to be safe and not sorry.
so from what I’ve heard I can run a...
Copy that! Thanks for the answer! There is a couple cheaper (better looking) options out there. I do plenty of wiring but have never messed with trailer lights.
Making my own with something like the $50 Amazon option. Or just saying screw it and buying the $400 option.. I figure this can’t be that hard of a product to make.
My real question with using the converter is do I need to run a 24-12v converter on every wire or just the power and ground.. here’s my thought. Cut the nato plug wires needed for a 4 pin. Run a converter on the hot and ground. Then wire up the other 2 wires (brakes turn signal running whatever...

So essentially you use your two marine batteries as power? I have 2 lithium batteries setup for mine and solar. Happen to have pictures of your setup? Thanks
Yessir, good old EB.
I thought about that but I’m more worried about if I hookup to other people’s going through town on a holiday weekend and the staters get me.
As my title mentions, I’m looking into how to convert my 24v trailer wiring system that’s on my 89 m923A2 down to a 7 blade for my camper/boat and who knows what else I might tow.
I know there is an option for about $350-$400 online, I am curious if anyone else has done it, what you used and...
Well my initial drawing to the welder fab guy was like most, side of the frame run grade 8 bolts as well as welding to 4x4 square tubing. I’ll be towing a 9-10k camper to the beach and back about 2 miles round trip but some rough areas through sand.
Expectations were not met but he said if I can...
