can you get to where your external cord is fastened? my friends winnie had one screw to remove cover, and front and center were the three bolts where cord attached. bought 3 ft of appropriate cable, hooked SP in a 15 minute job. I would NOT buy a hardwired SP unless it had a bypass feature.

I disagree, they are there to protect your equipment. A bypass switch is like putting a switch on a smoke detector or a hunk of jumper wire in a fuse holder.
