Thread: LLAMS & Traxide dual battery install on RRS

Tim supplies fitting instructions for the Traxide,very comprehensive.Ask him to send it as it via email not in the kit.
ENJOY

Yes did get them via email and browsed thru it, seems to be the D3 instructions which are much the same but differ when it comes to placing the cables past the back door, should be able to work it out.
I'm the typical guys that reads instructions after things have turned to crap!
cheers

Can't help with anything RRS specific but you'll find it pretty straightforward. The instructions are comprehensive. You've probably seen this thread which has a few good tips worth reading:

My other tip would be to buy a few of the metallic spring trim clips and a "magnet on a stick tool" before starting. I was very lucky and retreived all of them but a few involved blind luck. I have since lost a couple when opening the panel under the steering wheel, which you need to do for both Traxide and Llams.

Do you have a UHF already? I pulled my coax aerial cable through the firewall during Traxide installation using the same grommet so that I didn't have to go back in through there later on (didn't yet have head unit or aerial at the time). Left it coiled neatly under the bonnet until ready.

Cheers,
Scott

PS you'll need to change you signature now you've decided on Llams

Yes UHF was already fitted but have retuned it for repair as plug is faulty, when I get it back will look for a better spot to locate it as they just cable tied the cradle to some pipes up under the dash !!!! Some auto sparkles can be rough as guts when installing things that are out of sight

Let me know how you go, I fitted the traxide to our previous D4 but looking at the back of the RRS it's definitely different, harder to get under the panels, no access panel on the left, and ours has the DVD stacker in the right rear compartment - which has a much smaller door than the D4 jack and tow bar access doors.

There's also some extra wiring in front of the battery compartment I don't recognise, and the TDV8 has heaps less space around it to get to the firewall. Fun times.

I also wasn't at all confident pulling the grill off so left it in place.

Does anyone know what the heck these buttons are, right where the tray should sit, and where should I put them?

Looks like a couple of circuit breakers to me

Hi Stuart and Shane is spot on the money. But be careful as that looks like a typical auto electrical job.

6mm Auto twin, using the red for one positive and the black for another positive.

This is not illegal or whatever, just down right dangerous if someone starts working on your electrics.

I would guess that that is for your trailer breaks, if you are set up for them.

It would pay you to make sure what they are for because auto electricians do some horrible jobs.
