24v electrics

[badnuz]

ok, i have been asked to tow a caravan from palmy to rotarua and my cruiser is 24v and has a trailer plug of unknown volts.... if its 24v will it fry the 12v electric on the caravan, and if so what can i do to remedy it?

ta!

I dont know much about caravan electrics but would 10 bucks worth of 24v bulbs be a quick and easy fix to transport it

or you can get a 24-12v converter from supercheap etc

commonly just change the bulbs. i see they have 12-24 volts leds out now which makes things easier if your building a trailer.

24v-12v convertor would do but you need one on just about every circuit.....$$$. crude way is to fit resistors.

Problem with 24-12v inverter is it will only do one power source at a time, and you will need 4 dropped to 12v, unless there is a proper trailer inverter, which, if there is, where can ya get them? Safe way, change the bulbs.

im going to check the caravan this weekend so will investigate how many bulbs i need to get!

cheers mateys!
