I just ran an outdoor electrical cord through the weekender. I put the male plug end behind the license plate and cable tied it so that it wouldn't get caught in any belts or pulleys. I use another extension cord to plug in at a campground. I had previously removed the A/C, so I had a hole where the hoses went up to the heat exchanger. I ran the cord through that and under the seat. When I want to plug something in, I pulled it out from under the rear seat in the cutout under the seat so it wouldn't get squished. If you don't have a proper hole to run the cable up, I wouldn't pinch it under the engine cover...too high wear and shock/fire hazard. You could cut a small notch to accomodate the cable and line it with electrical tape to minimize chafing. -Karl Karl & Kristina Bloss - bloss@citynet.net Hurricane, WV '85 Westfalia Camper "Fred" '87 Westy Weekender "Bev" '00 Subaru Legacy "Forrest" All waterboxers :-) Almost Heaven West Virgina VW Club: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WVVW/ |
