    I've got one of those power switch boxes too Ian. Anybody got a need for it? It's free if you come get it. Got two huge cables on it too. The thing is VERY heavy.

    I think those clips are retainers for the nuts--but that's a guess. I doubt they are necessary as long as you have the nuts and inserts. The electrician set up a panel box on the genset with 4 Ground Fault interupt plugs so that if I ever wanted to run something other than the house I could...

    Spare Tire Carrier problem/solution

    Tire fitment
