Hey all,
I tow a small homemade trailer and use a ecoflow 800 wt solar battery to power a cooler, lights and water pump. I have solar panels to recharge the system when off grid as well as a 110 input to charge at home or with the Rivian R1T 110 outlets. I was thinking I could use the auxiliary pin on the 7 pin trailer connection to run the trailer if the onboard trailer battery was dead, IE pass through the 12 volt and bypass my trailer battery.
My concern is would that drain the Rivian 12 volt batteries or are they maintained by the main batteries even when parked? How much power would that supply, the same as the standard 12 volt outlets? I have been searching the forums about the subject without luck so far.
I know I can make a 12 volt cable to do the same thing and use the 12 volt outlets in the truck but it would be much simpler to just have it pass through the wiring harness.
The plan is to eventually have a fully electric camp kitchen in the trailer that can use both 12 volt and 110. Though it does look like for cooking I’ll need the 110 with my budget.
Any thoughts, insights appreciated
