Ford Ranger caravan charge and 3-way fridge Andersons

A job we do all the time, done exactly right.

  • Ignition-controlled

Separate 50A Anderson circuits for caravan battery charging and the 3-way fridge on a Ford Ranger, wired in 6 B&S with ignition-controlled solenoids on a TLR towing bracket.

How it came together

A very repetitive task for us, but getting it right for the client is all that matters. Taking the 3-way fridge's 12V supply wires out of the pesky 12-pin plug and fitting a red 50A Anderson plug instead keeps the connection secure for years to come.

Wiring the tow vehicle correctly, with 6 B&S cable, a chassis negative and ignition-controlled solenoids, means both 50A Anderson plugs can stay connected when you stop, without draining the start battery.

The TLR towing bracket is a really neat way to mount the Anderson plugs, 12-pin trailer socket, breakaway clip and, if needed, a camera connector and air bag valves. Making brackets on site is annoying, and this weather doesn't lend itself to painting either.
