Another 12 Volt Power Install without removing Tupperware

x

Bigbird,

Thanks for the instructions, I'm sure they will help me install one too. I keep saying I'm going to do this but I just never do. How long did it take you do you think? Thanks.

Pictures or the new power plug are now added to my album.

bigbird,

That looks like a good place for one. I keep meaning to go out and try to put one in but I seem to always get busy. The last time I tried to plan it out was when I tried to change my oil. I couldn't get the drain plug out since it was stripping so I just put the new filter in and filled it up with oil that i drained by removing the filter. I still don't know what I'm going to do about the drain plug.

But I just may put the plug where you put yours. It seems to be pretty weatherproof and it doens't rain out here much at all either. Thanks.

That's very bad luck, bigbird.
Glad you found out what the problem was without starting a fire!

Bigbird: It takes a special person to admit their mistakes. Even with all your experience and expertise, you got something wrong. I like the way you admitted it, and passed the heads up on to others. That's what makes this forum so good. Kudos to you!

I'm glad I checked here. I, too, want to add a 12volt socket. I saw there is a place in the lockable pocket, already there. I took off the front garnish, figuring I could access the backside of the hole, but not even close. I figured more had to come off. That's why I checked here first. Thanks for the help.

I did this install last week and it worked out very well although there were several things that were left out. You might want to know that using the Add-a-circuit won't allow you to close the fuse box. I'm still looking into the best option to solve this problem. Also, I had to read through the directions several times because they are a bit unclear, for instance it mentions a one inch opening twice and later in the instructions refers to a once inch opening again without saying which one inch opening he's talking about. Can be confusing. But otherwise the installation went better than expected. Thanks

I found it a lot easier to run a pair of wires directly to the battery through a 15A fuse. Only need to remove the box and fish the wires through. Easier if you remove the left rear panel which is easy.
