Ha Ha! Your pics reminded me how dumb I am! :S I recently built a noise reduction box to house my EU2000i and on that box mounted an intake fan to draw air into the box and direct it at the genset. I wired the fan with a 2-pin male plug which plugs into one of the two outlets on the genset ... the camper plugs into the other outlet so in order to provide the necessary G-N bonding for the Surge Guard that I installed in our trailer I made up a short G-N bonding adapter that goes between the trailer's main service cable and the genset. DOH! :S ... I could have just wired the fan up with a 3-pin male plug and bonded the G-N together so that as soon as I plug the fan in the genset is automatically bonded, no separate adapter needed. Geez, I'm so dumb! :o ... gotta go change that now! ... thanks for the clarity! :B
