Been a busy last several weeks, but none of the handyman projects I’ve been working on have been worth posting (been asked to do a lot of shit in the jankiest way possible…I do it cause I got youngin’s to feed lol). I have, however, added a permanent GFCI shoreline to both the F250 and the ol’ Pathfinder, and an onboard battery charger to both. I do plan to add more boxes to both vehicles in the future, but several projects take priority over that at the moment. I needed to get these shorelines and chargers mounted because A: I was plugging in the truck anyway for the block heater (old mechanical 7.3, not the biggest fan of cool weather, much less cold, currently) and I wanted a charger on the pathfinder for those days I forget to turn off the inverter lol.

Shoreline for the pathfinder conveniently hides away in the drinker side box in the bumper. The one for the truck I just have coiled around a couple quickfist mounts into the factory steel bumper. Eventually the truck will also have a handy dandy storage/winch bumper.

Thanks man! Adding these is really simple (wiring with 120v is pretty self explanatory with modern parts, it’s all color coded anymore), though I’m sure it could be done better too. I’m not sure this is “how it’s supposed to be done”, but it meets my criteria, and I feel is safer than most as the plug under the hood is gfci protected, and the plug on my house that I use is also GFCI protected. Overboard a bit, but that way I know if I’m somewhere else and plugged in I’ve got gfci on the circuit lol
