Such inmaturity..... look, sooner or later you are gonna have to look that word up and spell it correctly. now i am not a stickler on grammar or spelling, but you use the word almost daily. in that case, you should at least take the time to get it right. Sooner or later you are going to have to grow up. I do not get upset about my typos or others either but the child in you seems focused on this. |
try not to focus on you, it's just that you so stupid that i can't
ignore the crap you write.

battery while the truck is cranking. Otherwise the trailer battery will try
to help feed the starter. You can use a relay connected to the radio feed,
the radio goes off when cranking. Or, connect the trailer battery through a
switch and try to remember to flip the switch when you need to charge the
trailer battery AND when you shut the truck off.
I'd go with a relay. Use heavy wire to connect the two batteries, and make
sure the trailer has a ground wire to the truck. Don't trust the ball as a
ground path.
If you need help wiring the relay, send me an email.

and it's kind of late to "opt" for it now. So what's your advice? Do you
recommend that he go ahead and replace his?

The danger there is being stuck at camp with two dead batteries.
Two batteries in parallel isn't the best setup either. The weaker
battery will draw the stronger one down to its level. This may not
matter much with a popup camping trailer that sees only occasional use,
but is a poor design when two or more batteries are always tied together.

But Big Al indicated that he thought otherwise (you didn't read?) so I
thought it was worth saying.
Now, if we were talking about a motorcycle with a bitty battery, then
yes, I'd isolate a big car battery from the starter motor.
