Dear Darrell,

Thanks for the input. This sounds much easier than running a new wire from starter battery to aux and installing a new relay, etcetera.

Anyway, how often is the draw going to approach 30 amps. For some, more often than others, but for me, a few of times a year probably. I have propane for the fridge.

Are these interruptors expensive? Radio Shack item? -- Regards, David Bogle Brooklyn
