There ain't a decent off road shop that I know of over here in VA, or at least local to me. Y'all got it made out west. I got to order all my stuff in

[Chris]

Off road shops, speed shops, a salvage yard dedicated to late model trucks and jeeps. Hell yea I got out made

Closeist (spelling?) decent speed shop to me is up near MIR, which of course is in Maryland. But I think Maryland probably has quite a bit of speed shops

More goodies arrived

 

Not sure where your going to install your brake controller, but I installed my bracket on the bottom of my dash close to the center console, where the last bolt is. Just a suggestion. Here's a couple pics:

 

 

 

Not sure if the bracket is the same, but they should be pretty close

[Chris]

That's where it will be. Its just too damn hot today to install it. I did the wiring harness.

Don't forget the 40 amp maxi fuse under the hood

[Chris]

I'll get one when I'm running around tomorrow. A lot to do.

Is that all it takes to get 12V to the trailer?

Are you saying for braking purposes or for like powering accessories on a trailer?

Chris had mentioned he wanted to power the accessories on a trailer, I assumed that was your reference.

As in charging the trailer's batteries and running the fridge while on the trip. The 7 pin allows it bit I don't know how to wire it up

Not sure if that pin is able to supply that many amps through that small connector. You could probably hookup a separate connector for when you want to charge those batteries and run the fridge. Just run like 4 gauge wire from the battery or your big @$$ alternator to the back of the truck and make some sort of quick connect coupler thing that hooks up to another wire on the front of your trailer that runs to your trailer batteries and fridge. Then have some sort of turn on lead to the ignition so it doesn't run it while your truck isn't running.

 

I'm sure you could go to a trailer supply store and they could help you figure something out

[Chris]

There is a pin in the 7 pin plug that supplies a constant 12v for the trailer.

Sorry, I confused myself. As long as it is only supplying the batteries you should be fine. For the fridge, that needs to be wired to the batteries and run off those. I was thinking you were wiring the batteries and the fridge on different circuits
