Great work, furpod. Did you incorporate an automotive-type flasher, or do the turn signal/brake/flasher lights stay on constantly with the switch?

It is pretty straight forward.. You get the box at home depot, everything else comes from an auto parts store. I had to shorten the Bargman to fit. You also have to have a flasher that works with LED's, it's square. Forget the exact name, but not the round metal one, the square black plastic one. 2 switches.. I also fused the hot..
In this picture, the flasher relay is removed so you can see the guts.. |

Does a tow vehicle with a bigger alternator charge the battery faster? F-350 Vs Ford Edge as an example.

Turns out that I was missing a relay and fuse that supplies power thru the TV to the POD.

What did you mean that you were "missing a relay and fuse that supplies power thru the TV to the POD"
Also do you know if anything on the Rpod controls the charging from the TV. Or is it solely the TV charging the batteries directly.
Also again would you happen to have the Phone # for Rpod Parts Dept?
Thanks you help is greatly appreciated.

Patrick, On my TV (Ford F-150) the fuse and relay that supplies power to charge through the pig tail is not installed at the factory. They do supply the parts and you have to install yourself. I know this to happen on most of the Ford trucks with the factory installed tow package. Parts are left in glove box. I had to go to a ford truck forum to find out this. I do think all charging is controlled from TV. I do not have the phone # for RPOD parts. Hope this helps.
