24v to 12V trailer wire converter

[Shes Mad]

Who sells these in the US. I want a trailer light converter to pull a 12V trailer with a 24V vehicle. I know Redarc makes them, the VR series but I don't want to order one from the other side of the world.

Not just a standard converter--one I can put in line for the trailer wires, so it needs multiple inputs and multiple outputs.

Someone has to sell these in the US

I've been using this one for 3 years on my 24v rig pretty regularly towing a small boat for long periods of time and it hasn't melted. Just replace the bulbs in your trailer with 24v ones.

I would be switching the whole light assembly in the trailer--they are sealed units. I don't want to be switching back and forth all the time

I just ordered one for my hzj77 from Fort Gary industries her in Winnipeg. They build fire trucks and sell parts for semi trailers I cost about $115.00 Canadian not sure of the make but you could try them took about 2 weeks to get

Can you PM me with the part number you ordered, and I will call them

So I assume you want something with a logic circuit for the lights as well. I'm assuming your truck has separate signal light and brake lights, where as most trailers in North America have an integrated circuit that use the same bulbs for both.

You could always build your own pretty easy. Here is a good thread from the "Diesel Tech and 24 volts systems" on exactly how to do it:

Another option is available from Swiss Army Vehicles that they market for the Pinzgauer:

Theirs also these trailer logic circuits available from Princess Auto for under $20, that I'm thinking could be used in conjunction with a 24v to 12v converter

or you do the relay one for a few dollars and do some wiring yourself.
