Why I'm trying to avoid that... My charger is connected to the exterior power port with a 3 conductor cable (I use one for ground, and the other two for hot/neutral....in the case of 240, I leave out neutral, and only use the L1/L2 and ground. [3 conductor cables are inexpensive, they are called extension cords...4 conductor cables cost a lot more....] [Yes, running a 4 conductor cable would allow me to simplify the charger design a lot ;>] I will make 2 cables that go from the exterior charge port to the different outlets, but inside the truck I want the connections to remain unchanged...
