Anderson plug at tow hitch area

[Bulletman]

Gday All,

I did search but couldnt find what i was after , for those who have the Traxide DBS , where do you feed the wires thru to get them from the rear luggage area to outside the vehicle. I have had a look but cant really see any grommets anywhere.

Thanks

Hi there. I have recently removed the white landrover trailer socket and replaced with normal trailer socket. This allows the use of a normal 7 pin trailer plug to be wired to an Anderson plug. I checked with multimeter and used pin 6 which is already fuzed at 15amp. I therefore use the right hand plug for normal trailer function and left hand (old white one) for anderson. Can also now wire compressor to plug in there. Here is all relevant photos if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the post. I use that white plug to run my solar panel thru and wanted to be able to hook my trailer battery to the car to help run my fridge.
Good idea tho.

I have a 2015 d4 se, if you remove the plate that holds the tow hitch, rear lhs, under there is a large rubber plug with several circles in it. My guess is that it's for the rear air con in the hse. The perfect place to get in and out and easily sealed.

If I can find the photo I have will post it up.

I have fitted the anderson plug as per traxide instructions supplied from Narangga. Always good to see different ways to do these things.

Connecting into the “live feed” pin 6? To balance the charge? I like the idea.

My compressor is 40amps of draw. No chance I’m of running it from that circuit.

No - I continued the wiring from the rear 12V sockets from the traxide DBS thru the grommets behind the drivers side rear tail lights and have the anderson plug next to the tow plug , that way i can keep the house battery in the trailer connected to boost the aux battery set up and i can use the white plug to run the solar panels thru to charge them at the same time.
