NA Trailer Brake Controller Install

[Clark Kent]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will have to see how hard it is to run a dedicated Anderson vs this approach. If I ever wanted to use a rear winch that rear NATO would need the higher amps but that is not likely.

I had already ordered the NATO plug from Agile Off-road but don’t have a super duty soldering iron but do have the small torch. Will see how that goes.

If a rear winch is on your nice list for Christmas 2025I'd run in a dedicated Anderson circuit and call it a day.
The negative side of the NATO socket is an earth return. You only need to deal with the positive side. You could pick up power at the live (forward) side of the NATO relay. Either downgrade the entire circuit as I did or add your own inline fuse downstream. There's a suitable space in the right rear corner and it's accessible through the panel hatch.
I'd unplug the trailer to isolate the Redarc Manager 30 from winch spikes if that scenario arises.

Good little project. Have fun with it.
