RE: 12 V plug question
So educate me. How do I check with a volt meter?

If the digital readout is as shows (12.7) the center is wired to positive.
If the readout is -12.7 the center is wired to Negative.

RE: Sewer Flush ??
There will be no build up of pressure because the black tank has a vent. As stated earlier, there is a chance it gets overfilled and it will overflow from the toilet.

RE: Charging/maintaing Two Batteries in Place on Trailer
It won't matter which battery (ies) you connect to if the batteries are wired in parallel
Actually, there is a small difference. It should be done like pianotuna showed.Let's be practical. This is not about normal loads but rather a very small maintenance charge. It certainly doesn't hurt to connect the small charger in a balanced mode but the currents and voltage drops between the batteries are very very small.
Hi,
I'm so glad you folks have repealed Ohm's law.
I'm with CA Traveler.
The amount is very small when you apply Ohms law. True it doesn't cost any more, but if you have each battery in a strapped down battery box, it is a PITA to remove the strap on one, much less both, to simply hook up a battery tender.

RE: Television Speaker
I think most units play the TV sound through the stereo. I know mine came prewired to run this way. I have the choice to listen to the TV speakers or the Stereo speakers.
Mine didn't come with a TV, but the Radio has Aux input RCA jacks on the back of the unit and also a 1/8" Stereo Aux input jack on the front. I ran a interface cable from the Audio out of the TV to the back Aux input jacks. I set the Radio volume to about half way and the TV remote controls the volume output. (The setup in the menus allow full output or variable output)
I also I wired up a second set of 4" coax speakers in the bedroom hooked up to the "B" speaker output of the radio. I can easily select A or B or both speakers. Now the Air Conditioner noise is not an issue.

RE: At wits end with trailer brakes
It's possible the TV brake signal wire is bad. You said with no load (trailer unplugged) it reads good volts, but when you plug it in with a load it only reads a small voltage. This is the indication of a cooked wire. When a wire has too much current run through it, the it gets hot and the resistance goes up. normally it blows a fuse, but not knowing your circuitry it's hard to guess.
Maybe run a temporary 14 gauge wire from the output of the controller to the trailer plug and try it.

RE: I need help
My TV brake lights WORK, Directionals WORK (diff bulb) My trailer PLUG on TV directionals WORK Both pins< My brake light pin on left is GOOD when I step on the brake My right one IS NOT WORKING although the right dir. works through the same pin ANY IDEAS! Oh I almost forgot 2004 GMC 1500 crew cab 5.3
Thanks livefreeusa
Is this a factory tow package and trailer plug? Or is it wired up aftermarket? Your GMC with the two separate bulbs for signals and brakes requires a diode in each circuit for the brake lights. If it has an aftermarket plug-in harness adapter, it's posible the diode burned out for the right circuit. Just my $.02 worth...

RE: texas state inspection requirements for TT
ANY inspection site that does safety inspections in texas can do the same inspection for your TT/RV.
True, but would you want some kid who does oil changes 90% of the time and who has never done a trailer inspection driving your rig? I wouldn't. A simple phone call to verify they have a person there who has experience would save time and aggravation.

RE: texas state inspection requirements for TT
A few months ago a co-worker asked me if I have an inspection sticker. Like most responses here, I said "what?" I researched it (including here) and decided $14.50 was worth being legal.
I went to the place he took his which is right down the street. Call before going to just any Texas inspection place.
The guy checked only the lights and the TV insurance so obviously it varies from place to place. It took about 20 minutes to put the data in the computer & print out the paper. He put the sticker on the driver side front by the data stickers. It's good for one year.
