    Civy truck to MIL trailer wiring info

    The part is readily available from any electronic supply house - Digikey, etc. You could probably even pick them up at Radio Shack. Like any electronic part, you might need a little guidance using it, unless you're an electronic hobbyist, a Ham Radio Operator or a technician. Don't know what's...

    Civy truck to MIL trailer wiring info

    The 7812 is a simple voltage regulator IC in a TO-220 package. It looks like a transistor with a hole in it for mounting, and has only 3 leads - input, output, and ground. You ground one pin, put anywhere from 14-32 volts into one end, and 12 volts comes out the other end. It has to be properly...

    Civy truck to MIL trailer wiring info

    I could snap a photo in the morning - I'm a little too lazy to drive out to the back of my property tonight, and dig through my conex box - but I have to be there tomorrow. It's nothing fancy - just the 2 connectors mounted in the box, and wired up pretty much as shown above. How hard is it to...

    Civy truck to MIL trailer wiring info

    Helpful info. I bought a "ready-made" version at the Papago MV Show auction in Phoenix last month. It's a sealed box with both military and civie covered female recepticles installed. It allows hooking up a military trailer to a civie truck - or the other way around, using just the standard...
