Morning ... LATEST UPDATE
SoundGuy, we have completed bout 90 percent of our reinstall of the new EMS system. It was DW's preference to put the system on the outside of the cabinet. She plans on giving it one of her one-of-kind painting to make it look more like part of the decor.
This 1st pic shows ... I wired to RV side wires, a 30 amp plug & to the power source side, a receptacle inside the cabinet and done away with the junction box & twist on wire caps.

2nd pic shows ... A 30 amp cord from the EMS unit into the cabinet to plug into to power cord & a cord with a receptacle from the unit to receive the RV plug. We went with this setup in the event there is a problem with the EMS unit, we can unplug it and plug the RV directly into the power cord outlet.

3rd & 4th pic show ...The unit mounted on the outside of the cabinet. I added rubber spacers between the unit and cabinet to allow air flow behind the unit. Also used rubber grommets to help protect the cords where the enter the cabinet. DW gave her thumbs up and can't wait to get to add her touchs to it.

So hopefully this will give us at least another 8 years of service.
