We have a conflict here in the instructions. What is interesting is that the wiring instructions supplied by the manufacturer of this unit say that the power source should come from the ignition supply, while Jayco's instructions say the power source should be direct from the battery. ![]() This module complies with NSW regulations, and was supplied with the van I brought. It communicates with the breakaway unit via wireless. The Tow Secure unit comes with a module that is kept in the car, powered by a 12v plug that goes into an aux socket. Who knows? Who cares? We can't give you a definitive answer to your problem, but we hope your issue will be solved easily as ours was and you enjoy many days, weeks, months or years in your Jayco.Ĭouple of things to note here, some of you are referring to the "Break safe" units, while the post is about the "Tow Secure" unit. Maybe your break-safe unit is different to ours, maybe we were led astray or maybe not. We (touch wood) haven't had an issue since. We don't need to do it for long, just about the same time as cooling down the fridge on 240 before the trip. Connects directly to the red and black terminals on the break-safe unit. So now, if the van has been stationary for a while, we connect a 12v feed from the lighter outlet just above on the kitchen wall. OK, so we are gullible, especially when we know damn all about electricity. We were also told not to try test the battery using the external terminals because the charger circuitry prevents an accurate indication of battery charge. So we were advised not to buy a charger, but simply supply a 12v feed to the external terminals on the break-safe unit. But when this same issue happened to us, we were told that the break-safe unit attached to the break-safe battery actually contains a charger. ![]() Seems a bit negative for folk who aren't traveling all the time. Our Jayco is a few months older than yours, and like you, we were surprised that the break-away battery is only charged while towing is in progress.
