Sorry for the double post.....

Yep, that's what I'm going to have to do as well. No room otherwise.

@Jim, please shoot a pic of your electrical bay with the cord reel.

We're painting a rental today so it'll be later this afternoon. But for the record, it's tight. I'll have to put the autoformer in the bay opposite of the electrical bay.

Sorry Neal, got home late. I'll get a pic tomorrow when the sun comes up.

OK @Neal, here you go!

That is narrow but you may be able to unscrew the two brackets holding the shore power cable (black, left side) and reposition it and drop the AF in there. I don't know why they are pulling the black cord forward like that but if you internal mount you're going to redo that anyways.

Here is some pics of my install. I also have a pc hw50c behind the shore cord. I used male female 50 amp so that I can bypass hughes and or shore cord .

Hope they don't yap at me, but it's not listed in their list of forbidden items. Got to the Vineyards in Grapevine, hooked up power and turned on ACs, and was showing voltage on one line (with two ACs) fluctuating between 107 and 109. Went and grabbed the autoformer from the jeep and put it in place. One leg is right on the edge, sometimes boosted, sometimes not, but the other leg is being boosted all the time, up around 120 now (voltage had recovered a bit before I hooked it up and was 110-113).

When I get home, installing in electrical compartment will be a priority before my next trip.

You won’t regret it!
