Finally going to connect the power today. Yesterday was a scorcher. But I managed to get a lot done. I knocked a hole in the block wall. Ran PVC conduit up from panel, through the wall and into the box. Patched around the pipe with cement. Fished the wire through the conduit and connected the new box with the hookup. The only thing I didn't do was connect the panel. For two reasons, that would require turning the power off and its not my house. The friend who owns the house is going to do that today.
I also cut the end off of that horrid splice. And replaced it with a proper one. The cord, just reaches the hookup now, without stretching too much. I'll fit a longer cord later. The cord was #8 wire so it doesn't need replacing right away. I only ran #10 to the box, but its less than a five feet run. If it were longer I would have gone with #8.
Today's plans include finishing the power hookup and checking it. Then I'm going to disconnect everything but the AC circuit in the camper before I plug-in. At least until I can double check everything.
Next up I'm going to do some interior work. Because it isn't outside and because it can be done cheaply. First, I need to do some work on the Overcab where one of the running lights was leaking. I patched the leak the day I brought it home, but I won't know how bad it was until I start working on it. Second, the carpet has got to come out. It is nasty! Third, the whole camper needs scrubbed top to bottom.
