Most all pop ups are wired with a 30 amp plug in to power the

camper. Well when I decided to install a water heater I wanted

something a little different. Ahhhhh--- Got your attention !!!!!

I wanted to be able to run 3 Heaters if I needed them and the

water heater. I could not do this with the 30 amp factory plug

in, so this is what I did. Excited !!! OK here we go;

Have you ever been to the campground and plug that big old

plug in, and notice that there was another breaker beside the

30 amp breaker, and there was some receptacles beside it.

Well most campgrounds have them. So I decided to harness

the power of pop up camping !!

The new shore line enter the camper along with the factory shore

line. On the Cheyenne camper the converter is located under the

seat within the dining area. As seen in the picture the converter is

located to the right. To the left of the converter I installed 2 electrical

pop in boxes. The box on the left I will locate a single pole switch

with a indicator light. The box to the right of it I will install a duplex

receptacle.

This picture shows the wiring where the shore line is fed into the

switch box and the receptacle is fed from it. I use #12/2 with ground

to complete the wiring. From the switch I ran the wiring tru the

floor and up to the receptacle located in the storage compartment

to plug the water heater into. Under the floor I used seal tight with

90 degree connectors to protect the wiring.

Now here is the trick to the entire install. The switch has a indicator

light that will light when power is applied to the water heater. When

the switch is off, power is shut off to the water heater but the

receptacle remains hot at all times. With this receptacle you can

plug an additional heater into it and PRESTO you have a camper

with 3 heaters to keep you warm even in 15 degree weather !!! My

first test the outside temperature got down to 18 degrees and with

the heaters I had no trouble keeping the camper at a very comfortable

72 degrees !!! Yes , it does get cold in North Carolina!! If you don't

believe it just check out our photo album under North Carolina

weather. 2 feet of snow and a low temperature of 2 degrees!!

Do not try to run a heater and water heater with this install.

The circuit will not carry both. This is the reason for the switch.

When the switch light is on the water heater is on.
