Question 12v wiring question

[BamaSixGun]

From the bed area (close to the tailgate), where would be the best place to wire in a 12v plug in?

What are you going to power up Bama ?

What are you going to power up Bama ?

I just thought it would be a good thing to have a 12v outlet handy for charging a Dewalt drill, or a cell phone (if working outside and it needs charging) a small heater for those cold camp outs, etc.

Just an outlet to use any 12v accessory.

I would say up around the back of the tail lights.

How about next to your trailer plug? Seen some there, and you've probably already got 12V there since you've done a bit of towing before...

Ben, that's a good idea.

So I would just ground it like normal and then tap into the constant power at the trailer plug?

Yup that would work Bama.....

[Just an outlet to use any 12v accessory,] can get to be purdy Big Stuff Bama, especially when you say >Small Heater<.

Maybe run a 8/10 gauge fused wire from the Starter Solenoid back to one of the holes on the inside of the Stake Pockets.. to a switched plug-in box Maybe ??

Just food for R&D

Yep, that's what I'd do...

The Center pin is seldom (mine wasn't anyway) pre-wired for anything
