For those newer PODS that come ZAMP ready, does anyone know how they are wired?
I just purchased the ZAMP Roof and Sidewall Port and would like to install it; Does it connect directly to the battery or to the wiring? Thanks, JD |

There are two loose terminal leads ( red and white) that exit the wiring bundle at the front of the Pod so I guess the answer would be connect directly to the battery.

Thank you.
I was hoping they would have connected somewhere in the wiring panel or wiring bundle as a more "proper" installation. |

From what I have heard there is no fuse, so I recommend adding a fuse at the battery connection.

Directly to the battery is the correct way to hook them up. Line loss is an actual issue, and the most direct connection is the most efficient. I mounted my connector right to one of the battery box lids.

Iv'e traced them, it's two #10 wires (red and white) directly to the battery. The distance is not a problem as far as voltage using 10 gauge wire. It's possible that plugging and sparking up front with batteries gassing and propane and all may be part of the logic to place the plug all the way in the rear? Dunno...
