I recently bought a 2013 182g. Im about to do the wiring on my tow vehicle. Im wondering if there is a auxiliary wire hooked up trailer side of my rpod? If there is what does it run? The unit doesn't appear to have reverse lights. thanks

not sure what you mean by trailer side ? does the trailer have zamp wiring?  that is an extra set of leads to the battery.

From what I understand the center pin on the trailer side of the plug is either for reverse lights or a auxiliary battery connection. If there is no reverse lights on the rpod then I assume it would be a 12v auxiliary hookup. What does that 12v auxiliary power on the rpod?

If it's a 7 pin connector the auxiliary wire runs the reverse lights I have mine hooked up to a camera and a light on the back of my trailer. It terminates at the back of the whip under the trailer and it's just capped off.

I call the wire that goes from the trailer to the tow vehicle the whip, I don't know why.
The wire ends under the front corner of the pod the auxiliary has a cap on it. Some wires hook up to blinkers & stop lights, running lights, 12volt charging, ground, brakes and auxiliary. Out of my truck the auxiliary is prewired to the backup lights. And i hooked up a wireless video camera to it. I had a LED flood light on it also but it was to bright for the camera and I changed it to trailer power with a switch.
