 Topic: Need Help with Switch for Electric Tongue JackPosted: 14 Sep 2020 at 4:49pm |

Removing the 30A inline fuse and storing it inside the Pod is certainly the easiest solution for the jack. However this may expose the guts of the fuse holder to the elements, depending on its design. You still should have a way to disconnect the battery if the Pod is left unattended and unplugged for several weeks. The fixed and unfused loads of the CO/Propane detector and thermostat will drain the battery in just a few weeks. A battery disconnect switch is one way to accomplish this, either factory installed or as an owner mod.

Exploding dye packets would be a lot more fun.

It would be fun for a minute until you realized that you would then have to get the dye off your rPod... Maybe there is way to direct the dye away from the pod?
How about connecting an alarm in parallel with the electric jack motor?
 Just remember to use the hidden alarm kill switch before hitching up so you don't annoy the neighbors every time you go on a camping trip.... |
