Next Gen Ranger set up to tow a Jayco

Reliable connections and proper charge rates.

  • 2 ignition-controlled Andersons
  • Pin 8 for ESC
  • Sphere rear vision

We've been smashing out the towing configurations this past month. This Next Gen Ranger is now set up to tow the Jayco, with reliable connections and good charge rates.

A red ignition-controlled Anderson feeds the 3-way fridge and a grey one handles battery charging. Pin 8 is wired for ESC, a Sphere rear vision system is installed, and the TLR towing bracket keeps everything neat.

Isuzu caravan 3-way fridge fixes

Two Isuzus, two fridge faults, both fixed with proper Anderson circuits.

  • 6 B&S feeds
  • Ignition-controlled

A few Isuzus, a few 3-way fridge issues. Nothing a few ignition-controlled Anderson plugs can't fix.

Client 1: no operation of the 3-way fridge on DC. We checked all the connections and tested along the lines. Power was reaching the fridge, so it was booked in with Atlanta RV & Recreational for repairs. While on site, we reconfigured the fridge into its own ignition-controlled circuit, so the caravan battery can't bridge into the fridge's DC input, and fitted a new 6 B&S feed to the grey Anderson plug.

Client 2: intermittent fridge power on DC. We found a single 8 B&S cable sharing the load between battery charging and the fridge. It was replaced with dedicated 6 B&S feeds to both the red and grey Anderson plugs, and the 12-pin and Anderson plugs got fresh boots for a well-needed freshen-up.

Dodged the rain for both.
