Charging trailer battery
In previous less electronic LR's I just took a cable from the battery to a split charge solenoid (connection made when engine running) to an anderson connector at rear of D3. Then anderson on trailer end direct to trailer battery.
Will that same setup cause a problem on a D3?Cogito ergo sum!

Had a look today. Turned out my cable was too short but in any case was struggling to find an appropriate route and places to secure the cable too.
How's everyone else got their cable from battery to tow hitch? ?Cogito ergo sum!
