Hi, everyone! Starting another camping season with our trusty Peapod!! I have a connection question. I don't know the correct terminology for what I'm asking, so bear with me!
The brakes are wired with a break-away cable that will pull loose and set the trailer brakes if the trailer becomes detached from the towing vehicle. The trailer brakes are wired (somehow) to connect to the brake indicator/box/mechanism that was installed in our truck when we bought the pod. Usually, when we step on the brakes in the truck (with or without the 'pod attached) a little light on the box lights up. It doesn't seem to be lighting up now.
OK, so here is my question. We had taken the towing vehicle in to the RV dealer a month or so ago to have the plug-in socket replaced, due to damage caused when my husband caught it on something. Do you think that the connection to the little break-away box was overlooked during the replacement of the socket? I guess I don't 'get' the inner-workings of the connection. What is the box for, anyway? There is a dial to set the brake tension on the box.
I'm perplexed, and my husband has proclaimed that the Peapod is "my trailer" and my problem (it always becomes "mine" when something isn't working)! Help meeeeeeeeee.........
