Well I'm one step closer to my "Alaskan Adventure" . I finished the 12 volt towing box for my travel trailer. Now my deuce can tow any 12 volt trailer. Just plug it in and go. I have both the "7 pin Flat (RV) style" and "7 pin round (commercial) style" plugs. Plus the original 24 volt connector.

This box controls everything. It has inputs from the "brake controller" on the dash to the turn signals and taillights and a signal from the air-pac for the stop lights.
The cable that goes to the back of the truck is a "10-gauge 7 wire cable" that is wrapped in a "nylon" sleave and then goes into a 1" PVC pipe that is clamped to the frame. The power inputs are 12 volt from the auxiliary battery and are #4 cable. Also there is the reverse signal from the nifty switch I got from "Peashooter" !
All connections are crimped, then soldered, then heat shrink wrapped. I have a spare "light module" and of course spare fuses. I made it so that if the light module goes bad I can simply change it out by just unscrewing the screws on the junction strip.
