    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

    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...

    do your fifth wheel trailers use air brakes and if they do you have it set up that the fifth wheel trailers hook up electrically the same way they do on the macks you use
