Hi folks,

I need some help figuring out how to wire the Tundra's battery to the Surepower 1314 in the camper.

I picked up a used 2007 Eagle and the previous owner had a slick set up to charge from his Tacoma's 7 way trailer plug. Problem is I can not use his 7 way connection so I need to wire directly to the trucks battery. I'm not sure what he changed but the male camper 3 prong plug is only using 2 wires. One white + and one black -. Is this how the camper came wired? If so, all I need to do is rewire the female 3 prong plug and run a white 10 gauge wire from the trucks positive terminal with a 40 or 30 amp fuse in line. Then run a black negative wire right to a ground on the truck body. Is that correct?

Thank You,

T.

Pretty much, but consider taking that ground wire back to the battery. I've seen more issues with poor grounds :(

Thank you for help.

I stumbled across this link. Somehow I missed it when I searched the Four Wheel Camper web page.
It may help someone else if they do a search.
