Has any one ran a 120V outlet to the engine compartment to plug in the engine to the bus system when needed and just run it off of the shore line???

I have heard it said, "life comes at you fast".  I didn't know it would be in the shape of a bus  :-)

Not yet, but my plan is to wire it into the house system so all I have to do is throw a switch to use the block heater.  Powered of course by the inverter which in turn can be powered by batteries, generator or power pole.  It just hasn't surfaced on my priority list yet.

Travel is more than the seeing of sights, it is a change that goes on, deep  and permanent, in the ideas of living.

I hard wired mine in when I did my conversion. I used a good quality switch on the back bulkhead. All I do is flip it on a couple hours before leaving and it works great. One less cord to deal with while camping. ;D

HTH,

I also had a duplex outlet with covers hardwired in the engine compartment. Really proved handy lots of times.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, a good Reisling in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming:  WOO HOO, what a ride
