    Oshkosh Snowplows

    ok thanks and to convert to 12volt would you be able to just get a new alternator and replace any 24v parts with 12volt ones and change the battery hookup to a dual 12volt battery system or would you have to replace all the wiring

    is it legal to ride in the back of a deuce and a half

    M818 24volt to 12volt trailer lights

    i thing you can have constant 12volt if you ran constant on 24volt(hot with ignition on) to an extra circuit in the adapter then run the now constant on 12volt to the trailer or have it switched so you wouldn't waste electricity when you arent pulling a trailer. My two cents.

    M818 24volt to 12volt trailer lights

    ok i think i got the numbers close i got 2.1 amps for each s/t/t x 4(two on either side)=8.4amps and markers came to 2.1 amps for each x 9 (three on either side of trailer and three across the back in between the S/t/ts)=18.9 8.4+18.9=27.3 and then rounded up to about 30 amps so they 80 amp...

    M818 24volt to 12volt trailer lights

    So with the relays the 24volt power to the lights would open up the relay to allow 12volt to flow to the trailer lights if i understand correctly that's a good idea

    M818 24volt to 12volt trailer lights

    it is a 5 Circuit voltage reducer it probably would you would need something to control the electric brakes IE a brake controller if the 818 doesn't have a circuit for trailer brakes in the military style connector and that would be no big deal to wire in; you just need 12 volt in (from the...
