Power fridge while driving - Event Date: 26 Feb 2016

Actually, if properly wired, a relay is in the circuit that shuts the connection to the pod when the tow vehicle is not running. Ford includes the relay and fuse in a little bag when you buy a new one.

Yes, this is true for all vehicles as far as I know, but since my bargman is not factory installed it was wired for lights only and there was no hot lead run to it, I installed it myself.  It was simpler to parallel off the battery and run straight to the plug.  I also ran a negative wire since the trailer light harness is very light gauge.  Need to risk blowing signal lights fuse
