Detachable 120-Volt Power Cord Setup

SITE CATEGORY - PROJECTS -  120-VOLT POWER CORD

I was searching around on the net for cool things and ideas I could use for our RV ....and found this neat website called Natasha's Camping Site . It's a great site full of cool things they did to make their pop-up camper more efficient and comfortable.... I eventually clicked on This Page , where they showed how they got rid of the more typical RV 'House' Power cord setup and switched over to the much more efficient Marinco 30-Amp RV kit. This was a great web search find , because a typical RV power cord setup can be a major pain in the butt to use.

Especially when you're pulling up stakes in nasty weather ...where typically the 'House' power cord is wet or even a bit muddy...so you stand there trying to push the length of cold , stiff and wet cord back into the Power cable port. Which I can tell you from experience is no fun at all....so this Marinco unit is a major improvement .
With the Marinco unit , all you do is ...
For self-converters ....find the location on your rig where you want this plug-in located , cut out the appropriate sized hole . And then run the interior main 120-volt cable from your breaker box to the hole....then you'll wire up the exterior plug-in and screw the unit down.
Now cut-off the female end of decent length of 30-amp power cord and wire that up to the Marinco locking female end.
That's about it...( this kit comes with good instructions )
To use it you pull out your power cord (stored in a bag in a compartment or such )...plug the female end into the exterior main house plug-in you installed , and lock it in place with the locking ring....plug the other end in the campgrounds power and that's it.

We picked up our Marinco detachable 30-Amp power conversion kit from Camping World for $69.99 + shipping.
For folks who need a bit more power ...Camping World sells a 50-Amp kit for $139.99
