This is funny. You answered my post on the Superduty fb page when I got done watching this. I'm running 4AWG, but I think I will run them on the passenger side of the truck as this is a shorter path for me. My charger will also be on the passenger side of the camper, so I'll just be extra careful to have the wires well away from and blocked from the exhaust. I've spent a long time getting ready to do this, because I don't want to have to undo anything if I can help it. I also decided to go with a 60 amp fuse instead of a breaker. The only advantage is it won't trip in the heat. I don't expect it to trip period, but we'll see what happens. How did your install work for you up to this point?

This and your other video showing the detailed wiring installation/routing from engine compartment to rear of truck are great, and have inspired me to be confident that I can do the same, thanks very much! A few quick questions about the flush-mount connector on rear bumper: Did you have to remove the entire bumper to gain enough access? Did you have to cut any metal? Any details about that part of your installation would be helpful.
@dj2livinginwheeltime2653 ай бұрын
I installed the connector with the bumper on the truck lowering the spare tire to make it easier to run the wiring. I had to cut some metal away for the plug to fit using my Dremel tool. Good Luck with your project.

@dj2livinginwheeltime2657 ай бұрын
Check the description, there is a link to Explorist Life, this is where I bought wiring, the circuit breaker and fuse. I did not have enough wire for the truck and trailer, so I ended up buying wire from a local hardware store to complete the truck installation.

I enjoyed your video especially since I have almost the same truck. I am going to add one as soon as I can. Question - Why does the negative have to go all the way to the front, why wouldn't grounding on the frame work? Since wire size is based on current and total length of positive and negative you could cut back on the gauge, maybe. 6 gauge copper (not the cheap CCA) is very expensive and at 30 amps one run should work on 10 gauge according to chassis wiring specs from the manufacturers. Also, the often used rule of thumb is a 20% margin meaning that a 40 amp circuit should work meaning I could actually hookup to my 40 amp upfitter switch. I would really appreciate any comments. This the last step in my RV upgrade which includes 1000W solar, 100 amp MPPT controller, inverter, 400ah Lithium, series shunt and house charger to Lithium. Thanks for doing this video and all the best. Jim
@dj2livinginwheeltime2657 ай бұрын
We could get into the weeds here but, here are my 2 cents. We know the resistance of the copper-stranded wire and the Anderson connections. What is the resistance of your truck frame and how will that affect the current flow? What is the resistance of a connection that is bolted to the truck frame and is it protected from the elements? I want to have the most reliable system to charge the battery, this is why I ran positive and negative cables. For sure it's not cheap :) Good luck with what you decide. #6 is what is recommended by Victron, you can find this information on their website. There is a link to their site in the description.

@@dj2livinginwheeltime265 Thanks for the reply, I can't disagree and It sounds like you are a person that will go above and beyond and there is no doubt in my mind that because of this you will not have any issues.

This is pretty much what I did. I used marine cable that has both positive and negative in a sheath. Rather than running a signal wire, I tied in to the trailer running lights for turning the charger off and on.

Since the 12 v from the 7 way is left as is, i assume the dc to dc charger over rides any charging that would normally come from the 7 way, which could potentially damage the alternator. Thanks for your comments.
@dj2livinginwheeltime26510 ай бұрын
I don't think the 7 way charged the batteries on the trailer. The batteries were charged from solar panels and solar charger.
@nickc843810 ай бұрын
The 7way from the truck supplies a small 7amp charge to the trailer house batteries, so the dc to dc charger is suppose to protect the truck alternator from the lithium batteries pulling too much amps and overheating it. Thats why I'm questioning what's protecting the alternator if the charging pin in the 7 way is still connected as you commented in one reply to another viewer. Hey, I appreciate anyone's comment on this question.
@dj2livinginwheeltime26510 ай бұрын

Thanks again for responding. In my 7 way, my truck charges the lead acid batteries in my 5th. It would really be helpful to know if the power pin is disconnected when using a dc to dc charger or if it is automatically bypassed when using the charger.
