    Default Fixin' to do a little electrical work on the bus


    Since converting the bus, I've since learned the COE campgrounds are perfect for me to stay in (though could use a few more hot rich widows). I was never wired to run much in the way of power consumption, even though my 12ga cord worked fine all winter running my 2 small heaters (both on low), coffee pot, and microwave. I wanted to upgrade my supply so I order a new 50' 30amp RV cord, and an end to put on the bus cord. I needed a couple extra circuits inside the bus anyway, as well as wanting to add an exterior light at the entrance door (which I'm still looking for). Should make a big improvement come Fall, or even here once the window shaker (A/C) goes back in the window.

    $80 total for the cord and plug (Amazon).

    Install a motion sensor on it so it will go on and off all by itself!

    That's what I'm wanting Cray, looking for a low-profile one that throws light downwards, maybe has a chrome bezel/housing. Haven't really looked too much yet.

    Considered the motion sensor SL, but most I've seen are a bit bulky. I can put it on a timer, and would rather just have it "on" between dark and sunrise. Going to add one to the trailer too. Guess I need to get busy and locate a couple.

    Do we need to send DonDon up there with his multi-meter to help you out? Sorry DD, just couldn't resist.
