In Reply to: ground for a trailer posted by johndeereman on December 27, 2007 at 16:47:26:
I towed a travel trailer around for a bunch of years, and here's the way i handled the trailer ground problem: I fastened one end of a wire to the frame of the trailer, with a loop end, and a bolt and nut and lock washer! On the other end of that wire, i installed a double wire connector, like used on autos and trucks, to connect wires together. Matters not wether it has the prong sticking out. The other piece of wire, i fastened to the truck frame the same way. On the other end was the corresponding connector. The wires were fastened down with metal clips, but you can use plastic wire ties now. (Didn't have them back then!) When you hook up to the trailer, just plug the extra wires together, and you will have a good trailer ground, and your electric brakes will work. A bit of axle grease where the wire is bolted to each area, will tend to stop any rust from forming. The travel trailer came with a wiring schematic that showed the way to connect the wiring to the tow vehicle, including the break-away switch, which was required on the larger trailers. That switch applied the brakes if the trailer became disconnected from the tow vehicle. It is State law in Pa.
