Like you I much prefer the shorter delay of just 15" and would only have use for the longer delay during the summer when we might use the A/C. You're right - waiting for that delay sometimes seems like watching grass grow...

Sheesh, you guys are so impatient.
I've usually got about a million things to do setting up camp outside after plugging in the shore power. So power's always on when those are done, no problem, and I've got the long time delay.
Yeah probably, but the reason we much prefer a travel trailer over any other type of rig we've ever owned before is so we have as LITTLE as possible to do to set up. :p In my case that usually means my wife is inside the camper as soon as the trailer is parked ... following that the first thing I usually do if she hasn't already beat me to it is run out the main service cable to the power post 'cause once the trailer has power she can do whatever she wants in there. Personally, I consider the trailer "set up" at that point as anything else is fluff that I can do later as I get to it, usually with a glass of wine in hand. :B
That said though it's not so much when camping that I find the delay annoying but when I may be working on the trailer here at the house and I have reason to disconnect & reconnect power several times. To date, if I plan to do it several times, I'll even unplug my hardwire EMS completely, which I can easily do because I wired it in with 30 amp connectors, but installing a switch that would allow me to change the delay from 136" to just 15" without having to open up the EMS and pull the delay jumper would for me be a great solution.
