ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO TRUCK 

 
Your Chalet RV comes equipped with a 12-volt 
electrical cord with a molded camper connector. 
The truck electrical connector will be installed by your 
Chalet Dealer to your truck wiring system. With the 
wiring and connectors hooked-up, your truck will 
supply 12-

volt DC power to charge your trailer’s 

battery and provide power for the 12-volt power needs 
while the truck is operating. 
 
Under no circumstances should the plug be altered or 
changed to another type.

NOTE: 

Do not use less than 8 gauge wire size for 

charge lines. Also, do not attach them to smaller 
gauge wires. Your RV maybe equipped with a 3- 
way refrigerator which uses 120v, 12v or LP gas to 
operate. Selecting the 12v operation requires a large 
amount of amperage. This selection should only be 
used while traveling when your truck alternator can 
produce this amount of amperage. Using an 8 gauge 
wire from your truck battery to the trailer will ensure 
that adequate amperage will be supplied to the 
refrigerator. 
 
To protect your truck’s 12-volt system from overload, a 
40-amp circuit breaker should be installed at the power 
source under the hood. A Battery Separator may be 
necessary to install on your . Its purpose is to 
protect your truck’s starting battery from discharge. To 
handle the trailer’s electrical requirements and to 
charge the trailer’s battery, 8 gauge hot and ground 
wires must be run from the power source under the 
truck hood to the 12-volt camper electrical connector 
location in the truck bed.
