Are you suggesting the factory trailer wiring is not fused from the factory?
I don't know about his ram but my chevy has a bunch of fuses in the fuse block just for the individual trailer wires.

When i added a topper to my truck I tapped into the fifth wheel wiring harness to run a couple dome lights. That 12v constant on wire is 10 guage and fused at 20 amps. And yes voltage at that wire is usually a couple tenths lower than battery voltage.

My bad I thought he added a new 7 pin wiring to power the back of his truck power needs. It looks like he tapped into the existing 7 pin. I would assume it is fused from the factory, likely in the fuse panel. I had my topper professionally installed and they ran a dedicated fused wire to the back of the truck for a light in there.

Can eTorque be considered a dual battery setup? Like the dual battery setup's people install on there Jeeps and Toyota's for over-landing? As I watched this video by FCA he mentions (around 3min mark) how the 48V battery pack keeps the 12V battery charged. I have a portable 12V fridge that I would like to keep in the truck bed, so I'm wondering if I could run a cable directly from the 12V starter battery to my truck bed for the fridge. It seems that having the additional capacity of the 48V pack, along with the power generating/charging abilities from the hybrid system would be a perfect setup for dual battery straight from the factory.

What do you all think?
What engine do you have, and how do you like the system so far?
