    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    I'll tell you what I did and it worked for me. I have 4 batteries, 2 sets of 2. Each set is in series, then both sets are paralleled. Off of each set I split the load, 1 for running lights and brake lights. I added a toggle switch to the dash to turn the lights on, and added a momentary toggle...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Ok what if I added 2 deep cycle batteries to run my lights brakes cig lighter and radio and used an auto battery charger at night to recharge them. I also have a gen set for my business trailer that I could plug the charger into riding down the road. This is NOT my ideal way of doing it but it...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    I get what you are saying that it is adding more amperage to the 2 12v/24v batteries but if I'm pulling the 2 seperate 12v from each individual 12/24 what harm would it do? I have a 2 axle trailer with 1 axle having electric disc brakes. I could also run a 12v cigarette lighter to power my phone...

    Ok I'm still trying to find an easy way to do this so that everything I use in my regular truck will work on my M5.

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Oh by the way, I'm bobbing the deuce, keeping duel wheels, removing the bed, and adding a 12 foot box that will be converted into a camper. I'm not sure how to add pics but I'll add a pic of my trailer until the deuce is built. Brad

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    This is proving to be quite a challenge. As an ex commercial electrician it seems to me someone; Mack, Freighliner, Volvo, someone has had to do this before. So I would think there would be some sort of wiring harness out there with a convertor built in. However this doesn't mean it's cheaper...

    Hello, I am new to this site. I am having a deuce built for me to pull a business trailer with a 7 pin connector and electric brakes. Does anyone know if there is a converter made to transform the 24v deuce to the 12v 7 pin connector and if so where I can get one? Also I know they make brake...
