DIY POWER POINT INSTALL FOR $53!!! || 4WD Drawers / Caravan / RV || PLUG & PLAY GPO FOR INVERTER

[@Ozrover1]

Perfect timing, just waiting on a 3000 w inverter to turn up. Ordered this to make installation in my caravan easier... Cheers.

[@ThatTouringBloke]

Awesome vid , ordered mine . Such a great idea

[@shaneclark7434]

Hi Cam This is an awesome product, thanks for sharing. I’m about to start the fit out of my Y62 and I’ll definitely be getting one of these. Thanks legend!!!

[@ontheroadwithjohn]

Bloody great product. I have thought for the last maybe 20 years there is a need for something like that. Glad to finally see one out

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Brilliant! Sold sold sold - STORMOD upgrade incoming. Thanks for the tip mate, will be a heap easier than the pop up version I have currently

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic product Cam for Instal and ease of use, well done

[@stevesmith3556]

Making life simple. Im all about that😊😊😊 Cheers Cam🎉

[@explorebound]

Oh that is brilliant!! If only I had held off 6 months or so with my 12V setup this would have been perfect, I had to go for the neatest looking powerboard I could find instead 😅

[@WildTouring]

@@explorebound clever hey! Haha yeah I hear ya, I’ve been running an extension cord and a powerboard for a year while I wanted for this!

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

Cam, That's a fantastic Double Pole Switching DIY install, Plug & Play flush mount power point 🤣🤣😂😂

[@WildTouring]

@@-PORK-CHOP- 🤣

[@nzmarkb8713]

I’ll be using one of those for sure, easy and neat 👍. Cheers Cam

[@briananddianehardy8598]

What a great idea to make the powerpoint installation for DIY

[@WildTouring]

@@briananddianehardy8598 smart hey!

[@jebw]

That looks like a 7.5A IEC plug. The 10A version has a keyway between the A&N terminals together with 1mm2 cable in the lead. Many jug cords are 10A but all computer cords I've seen are 7.5A.

[@darrengray5854]

Fantastic, a long over due diy option.

[@MrOldref]

If you want to seriously protect the circuit, buy a residual voltage device (RVD)to protect outlet circuit you can buy plug and play ones, about $300 dollars.

[@greghammond7956]

Spot on. Most people don’t realise that a household RCD won’t work in a mobile situation like a vehicle fitout.

[@paulhardie9450]

Good timing Mate just been lookin at this and now I know what, how, where and why I want it lol. Thanks heaps very useful 👍👍

[@WildTouring]

@@paulhardie9450 no worries mate!

[@TechStories79]

Brilliant, just brilliant.

[@Mrbuckaroonie..]

Doesn't get much more simple than that mate.

[@WildTouring]

@@Mrbuckaroonie.. clever hey!

[@clinty51]

Hey Cam, cool product, certainly something to keep an eye on after many corrugations, I'd feel safer if the IEC had a retainer to hold into the main GPO 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

[@mattcooper1840]

So good !

[@kevinryan7649]

That’s bloody awesome

[@jackoq197]

Thanks fantastic

[@buster_1972]

That's great and a good price too 👍

[@markh6676]

They need to offer a flat right angle 3 pin plug at the inverter end. To suit inverters mounted to false walls at front of canopies. Neater entry into and behind false wall.

[@WildTouring]

There’s dozens of different cables available to suit the length/ orientation of your setup. Here’s a $10 right angle one from jaycar- www.jaycar.com.au/0-5m-cable-3pin-mains-right-angle-plug-to-iec-c13-right-angle-female/p/PS4111?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD0dvLZVniVLq1ohCagbnNzequE_e&gclid=CjwKCAiA9vS6BhA9EiwAJpnXwxKc_AXrSeuYLJOsRq9_JrAzImTGXQ2G5C5R9Z3FAtJDUD5quj_0yhoCZuQQAvD_BwE

[@man.i.literally.failed6772]

I can't remember the brand but there's another plug and play on the market, Jayco use them in their vans, no overpriced sparky needed

[@holgermuller2987]

Hi Cam Nice recommendation and nice piece for self installation I would go for it with closed eyes and order it if I would need it today. Compliments : You have the most recommendations for the nitty gritty things to make our life easier and safer. But : What borders me much about the Australian standards is the copy of the shittiest plug system in the world !!!!! 🇬🇧 2 flat pins in an angle or straight depends on the country with No retainer housing around is a huge design flaw in my opinion. Yes, I am German and used to have plugs what never fall of the sockets. German power plugs and sockets are in the way design that the housing locates the plug and 2 spring retain in the socket retain the inserted plug. Needless to say that the 2 round pins are for 230V and the earth is connected to the spring. It’s a shame that the AS does not allow us to use German plugs and sockets in my van and drawer system. Let alone the 230Vpower supply plugs on all OZ vans outside. Piece of cheap Chinese plastic! This is absolutely not a complain about Cam’s recommendation just my own opinion on the damned plugs which fall to easy out of the sockets in my van. Have a nice day .. Cheers

[@mebenderjnr5055]

Great product but why is the circuit breaker reset on the back?

[@WildTouring]

@@mebenderjnr5055 cheers mate! Not sure exactly why, but I guess circuit protection (fuses, circuit breakers, RCDs etc are generally hidden away somewhere on caravans and cars etc.).

[@ianmetcalf5782]

Just a question that has nothing to do with this post if you don't mind. How is the mozzfog going. I did try to get one when you reviewed it some time ago but they weren't available and a new version was coming. Thank you for your content and product reviews.

[@user-Keith-Nicola-300.]

Nice, bought one a few weeks ago, missed the discount 😩 I have the same black label setup, but my end plates have large steel brackets holding them on, how are yours attached? 😎

[@man.i.literally.failed6772]

need a 15 amp version

[@GetLost.Wandering]

That’s brilliant if only they were out a few months ago when I done my car 😂

[@jamieh4x4]

And you could run 4 of these off a power board plugged into the inverter too ;)

[@krisnabradi2322]

Do you still have a travel buddy in the car?

[@thdjnr]

Holy shit $53 😂😂😂

[@scottgrove9821]

Fantastic product but unfortunately it will not fit in my canopy setup, I've only got 50mm clearance, I would need the power cord to come out of the side of the power point 😢

[@nathanielclarke94]

How do you turn your inverter on and off when you need to use it? Or do you lift the wing off every time

[@WildTouring]

@@nathanielclarke94 the panel under the GPO on my wing is a remote switch for the inverter 👍🏼

[@chefcamsey1375]

👍👍👍👍

[@SUPERTRUCKER166]

They aren’t anything new, they have been around for years, if you look at office fitout companies etc for cable management

[@WildTouring]

Yep, but I believe this is the first plug and play double pole switched GPO.

[@SUPERTRUCKER166]

@@WildTouringdefinitely isn’t. Companies like elsafe and CMS do. I’ve had similar items in a desk build for almost a decade now.

[@WildTouring]

@@SUPERTRUCKER166 flick me a link? I’ve only seen the ‘soft wiring’ ones that would have to be hard wired to your inverter for this sort of application (so you’d need a sparky to wire it), and then their own proprietary plugs and extensions leads to power points from there.

[@SUPERTRUCKER166]

@@WildTouring can’t send you links but if you google cms cable you get their site. It’s the same plug and play solution many canopy manufacturers use with the 3 prong interconnect plugs

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

@@WildTouring Others may do it, but if you have to go to a office fitout type place, they wont be $89, more like $289, even better with your discount for $53, just ordered a couple 👍👍.
