Well, in the case of a rear air line, you already have one in the form of the rear right gladhand on a deuce. Get yourself a glad hand, air line regulator and run it to a tool directly OR to an Airpig with a larger hose from the airpig to the larger tool for extra CFM surge capacity.

When planning anything like this, unless you can picture it in your head, sketch it out. That makes it easier to keep things straight. Check the TMs for the deuce wiring (last few pages iirc) and double check the wiring for the trailer. A 6 or 7 pin trailer wire cable is probably ideal. Those...

I re-enact and tow a 3 ton british scout car to events. That's a MUCH heavier load and it is harder to find parts for so, yeah, I agree. Tow it on a trailer of appropriate size. Havinga way to recover a 4x4 that's got problems is nice when you can just get it near the trailer somehow, drag it...

I went with one that would sustain 20 amps and surge 30 amps. I'm leaning towards replacing it with a hefty unit from Newmar but haven't yet.

The military trailers that are dual voltage take a low tech approach and use three step down resistors for dropping the voltage. They are big and I suspect make some heat so they need to be in a metal box of some sort. I dislike such methods because it waste power and is just additional load on...

That post has a schematic thats useful. The pin for power is K, not H (not relevant for your purposes). And that schematic doesn't include the power for the trailer lights because I'm drawing off the truck directly.

Oh, do be sure that the wires gauges you run for certain functions are up to the task. 14 gauge will work for the lights and relays. BUT the 12 volt power lead should probably be 12 volts. You'll be running a breakaway charger/battery too right? The trailer brake and ground leads should be...

As Clinto describes there are several ways to do things, the best is in such a way that the trailer brakes are actuated by your own brakes either by air pressure OR by the brake light switch on your truck. Depending on the size of the trailer you're towing, you could get into REAL trouble if...
