Yay! Newbie here with a 2021 Passport and new Tab coming in next month. I was worried about the fridge. What type of battery do you have in your Tab? Thanks.
PP battery charging small camper battery??
Hi all. I'm wondering if any of the great PP forum folks who have experience towing a camping trailer (in my case, a small teardrop, Tab 320) can tell me if the PP battery can charge the trailer battery while travelling. Thanks.

Thanks for your comment. I read that many new vehicles have “smart alternators “ which cut back on charge when the tow vehicle is taken care of and as a result are not able to charge up the house battery. (At least that was my understanding as a novice student of campers and power options.) Glad to hear from Fasteddie that the PP will do the job.Hello. I think I can help. Your Trailer Deep Cycle Battery will be charged via your Passports Alternator while driving. The 12 volt charge signal is part of the 7 pin round trailer harness connector. With the engine running the alternator is working to keep up battery voltage around 14 volts. The AUX signal (12 volt charge signal) is actually a pulse voltage, kinda like an on/off power. It will supply your trailer battery with low amp trickle charge.
Thanks, but the Tab 320, 2021 has a 2 way fridge - no propane.I run my fridge on propane, its easy. My old camper has a 3 way fridge. Less work for the alternator.
