It was even scarier when in the car
. To be honest, this was something I came up last minute when I got the trailer and cobbled it together. We left Melbourne, moving to Queensland. I just thought I could use the existing wiring for the dual battery and re-route a Anderson plug. I disconnected the battery and had only the Anderson Key on it, still it was too much for it. I had my worries that something like this would happen and I wanted to check it but with all the other stuff going on, I completely forgot about it till we had smoke in the car.
The wire was certainly thing enough for the load. It was just the heat together with the outside heat (45+). And the engine was also getting hotter, with the A/C on. Well it is ok now, since it is not connected to the car electricity at all anymore.
