Nicely drawn schematic, good job all around! Can you draw another schematic showing Bjorn's suggestion? I know of a few people that have done this modification, seems like agood idea!

 

[neilhendrix]

That is an Awsome job. However it is still Greek, Spanish and a few others To me, Did you get the electric brakes hooked up ??

He has made many great suggestions, so your going to have to be more specific...

If you mean taking the load off the flasher unit, that's no big deal. The flasher just has to control the relay. I used two relay in parallel. Be sure to diode suppress the coil. Bosch 24V relays can come with the diode internal.

Just speaking outloud here . . . and making a suggestion to someone with wiring skills and more time than I have . . . . . but if someone made a converter box that would plug into the MV military round plug on the back of my truck (12 pins ?) that would output to the standard round 7 trailer plug and 4 flat plug, I would gladly pay $50 for such a magic box . . . .

Just speaking outloud here . . . and making a suggestion to someone with wiring skills and more time than I have . . . . . but if someone made a converter box that would plug into the MV military round plug on the back of my truck (12 pins ?) that would output to the standard round 7 trailer plug and 4 flat plug, I would gladly pay $50 for such a magic box . . . .

Heck we could probably make these at my shop...Only bad thing is I dont have MV yet...Now if someone would want to loan me one for a bit I my be able to do this...

Just a heads up Amazon has these hitches for $146 shipped! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009X9F72/ref=ox_ya_os_product

 

[srodocker]

is that the one that need no mods to it to fit the frame?

 

[rnd-motorsports]

Looks great!!!!

 

[atankersdad]

Don't suppose you'd be interested in posting wiring diagram (an idiot proof one for someone like me ) ??

How about posting for another idiot here too. Good looking rig. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.

I also wish someone would fabricate this. I would be worth more than that for me.. Any takers?

Nice work. Good idea to install the connector assembly that has both the 4 pin and 7 pin built into one assembly.

Make that times 3. I think someone could sell a BUNCH of these.

Yea, that could be done.
If someone seriously wants one, email me. I haven't been on this site much for the past couple years. Pretty much sense I started this thread.

Add 1 more to that list I would be interested in this as well.

 

[bones1]

This converter box would be of interest to me as well, also, yes.

 

[darylhackett]

Bottleworks I hope you guys are doing well in NC after the weather passed. I am very much looking for a conversion 12->4/7 or 12 -> 7 way for my camper and it trailer brakes system. Any build ideas would be greatly appericated. cucv m1009 86'

 

[Hank.]

Looking for a converter box for my trailer as well! Couldn't find your email address, bottleworks.

 

[Havasu Sun]

Did anyone ever locate a converter box to be able to run a 12v trailers lights and brakes?

 

[HanksDeuce]

Sorry, I changed usernames (used to be Hank.).

No one posted here about the converter box so I chose a different path. I am in the processing of bobbing my M35A2 so I will be using the wiring harness off my M105A2 trailer for a set of detachable lights with magnet bases. This will allow me to haul civilian trailers and not worry about converting the harness. You can pick up a M105 trailer for $150 + fees. That gets me the bobber bed, secondary air system for my split brake system, wiring harness for detachable light project and a few dollars in my pocket for scrap.
