They put out far to much voltage for a battery, and its not really DC, its Dirty DC. I don't know if they ever made them without this dedicated circuit, but you don't want to just hook the battery up to the output side of the AC/DC converter. I guess the slide-in has a system where you can plug it in, and have 12V lights running? If it does, you need to determine if the charger/power supply also has a circuit dedicated for battery charging. I can generally follow a diagram, so that would be a big help. Needless to say, I'm not real good with all this electrical stuff, and I don't know if this is the right way or not. Then, hook the power "in" and ground wires from the camper to the battery. Does anyone have a wiring diagram to do this? My thoughts were to run a wire from the "charge" pin of the plug to the "+" battery terminal, and also run the ground from the plug to the "-" terminal. I need to figure out how to get the "new" battery to charge and also hook it up to the camper. The "charge" wire is hot only with the ignition on, and as far as I can tell it is wired through a constant duty solenoid, and has a circuit breaker between it and the battery. The truck is wired for a 5th wheel and has the 7-pin plug in the bed. I don't like the idea of running off the vehicle battery when I'm camping, so I'd like to figure some way out to hook up a dedicated battery for the camper. I just bought a '96 Palomino slide-in, and it doesn't appear to have any provisions for a dedicated battery.
