[QUOTE=daveinaz;1133034]When towing, does the TV charge the coach batteries with just the normal 7 pin connector or is there some additional wiring required? I don't see how the trickle charge would get to the batteries with just that 7 pin connector -- but then, I came from a motorhome so how 5er wiring works is not clear to me.

It should charge thru the 7 pin, however some makes of truck don't come from the factory setup that way and need some minor modifications.
