No such thing as a dumb question.

You can simply wire anything that requires always on directly to the battery positive terminal but there is also a permanent power supply in the underbonnet power distribiution box as well.

There are wiring diagrams for the B-Series in the Tech Portal that will help too.

Cheers
Russ

Hi. Pink wire in the socket for the trailer plug loom is always on, fed from the trailer fuse in the inside fusebox. Cheers MD

Thank you all folks! I am looking at running a second battery setup through an anderson lead to the trailer where the second battery will live. I LUUUUURVE setup for camping that i've seen with a second ute body as a camper trailer.
Ive even run a hydraulic setup to keep the brake system, so it it all colour matched with the shockwave brakes

I have also runs tow bar bar off the camper trailer to run a second trailer which Ive only been able to get away with in the territory. looked red hot tho!
two braked trailers off the xR. see if i can find some pics for y'all.
cheers
