Seen this before but can't find it!!

Postby lonerider » Tue Jun 19, 2012 11:23 am

Looking for a link to a shore power inlet box. The kind that has the flip-up door on outside that has a male plug that the power cord plugs into and can be wired to the various places you want to run electric inside the trailer. Any help is appreciated!!

Amazon has several of the shore power inlets shown on that site for much less.

For example, the 15A Marinco inlet shown on that site is only $18.28 at Amazon.

It is worth shopping around. Boat accessories are by definition expensive when purchased at the marine store. Often much less when purchased elsewhere.

I used the Marinco 15A inlet on my teardrop. Works great. The biggest issue was finding the right size hole saw to cut through my aluminum skin.

You got that right, Chas. I used the same inlet. I went EVERYWHERE. No one sells a 1-7/8" hole saw. So I used a 1-3/4 and very carefully enlarged it with a little sanding wheel on the Dremel.

Buy it here for about ten bucks: http://www.medfordtools.com/metalworking/holesaws.html

Hope this helps.
