Power feed from trailer electrics (inboard)

Can anyone help??, I'm looking at taking a 12v feed from the trailer electrics fusebox behind the L hand removeable panel in the rear...which one can supply 10 amps max and is this a feasable way of powering a 2meter rig without having to go through the bulkhead at the front to the battery Question

I'm mounting the rig in the top glovebox.

ps, I NEVER tow a caravan but occasionally use a trailer with basic lightboard

You can take a permanent +ve from the CJB, there are two 'spare' relay sockets at the bottom right, a male spade connector in the second horizontal slot of the top socket will provide the power you need - although I came across an 06MY that didn't have the pins soldered in... other 06MY's have it as do 05 & 07MY's.... weird Confused

Think D3 Matt took a piccie, i'll have a look for it
There ya go! brown wire with blue terminal is the +ve pick-up, it's fused@ 40A so i'd suggest an in-line fuse to suit whatever you're connecting to it Wink

Sorry for being thick , but where is this box in the photo? It looks like a useful resource to know about. Is it behind the dash or at the rear. My lighting fusebox doesn't look like this, neither does the one under the bonnet.

I've lost my FT-290 somewhere in the garage and the Handy in the house. Spent Sunday looking - will try again tonight. You never know.

What repeater will you be on?

I fancy puting in the removable mount for the 290 - I have the original mount with 25w linear in it so once I find it......

Edit

Sorry - didn't read the repeater bit!
