Hughes Autoformer

[DrPhil]

Late to this thread, but for the sake of offering options to future readers (and a newbie boosting his stats!), mine is mounted on TOP of the cord reel. Even had room for the bin of adaptors on top. Also shown in this pic is the method of connecting my autoformer (on the back wall) and my home-made pedestal power checker (foreground)

Interesting…. I was not able to stack mine like that as the Ventana FWS is electric and has a bar across the top of the drivers side compartments that prevent you from easily doing that…

Not sure how/where I'm going to shoehorn it in, but after this start, as soon as I get back to my nice air conditioned RV garage, a permanent mount is next on my list. This has been the lowest voltage I've seen to date.

It is my understanding that the Autoformer recommendation is to mount the unit Upright.

Thanks!!! Looks like they are worried about condensation!

Probably more important for outdoor installations…

However heating and cooling will produce condensate, the reason holes are in the bottom.
