A picture is worth a thousand words - I've just added photos to the Electrical photo album showing how my car battery is wired to go to the 7 pin plug receiver on my hitch - also the wire and gauge to use.
Once that is done, you may need to disconnect the white ground wire from the receiver plug and in its place, attach some of the 10 gauge wire to the ground pin in the plug and attach it to the frame of your car - a really good ground. With this and a good connection to your TAB, you should be able to charge your TAB battery when connected and the car is running.
Next time you loan your TAB to your kids - loan them the car as well!

> Help please! This summer camping has been a bit challenging-we have had electrical issues with our 2008 tab since the beginning-when our dealers mechanic could not figure our our Nissan frontier wiring for the harness- he did something to make it work, but the battery never charged while we were driving. That was the start. at a campground, as newbies, we used too long and extension and blew the gfi box, replaced it and moved on. Then when daughter and son and law borrowed tab, his truck rode lower and accidently scraped through the tow wire, so we replace tow harness, but since, everytime we plug into power anywhere, we are blowing fuses and popping the breaker box. We tested gfi and it says faulty ground, should this be an easy fix? Guess we should check the ground connection, which i read may be to the frame on our model. Thanks fro any insight, the battery still does not charge when driving!! Hope its nothing more.
