Could the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 Have a Short When Not Towing?
Question:
I understand the instructions and the installation. I have a question. Scenario…..If the towing vehicle RV is unplugged and driving the towed vehicle. What happens if there is a short after the breaker say like at the plug location at the front of the towed? In theory the circuit breaker is then wired backwards as the battery source is now the towed. Will the breaker work properly since, in theory, it is backwards in this scenario? My concern is if there is a short in towed side not when flat towing.

Expert Reply:
The circuit breaker for the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 is only designed for power to flow in the one direction. It is unlikely that you will have a short in the RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer Connector # RM-910030-7 unless it became damaged. In the event something did happen it will likely damage the circuit breaker as power is only designed to flow in the one direction.
