This is perfect! I live in a trailer park that started as a vacation trailer park but now we are all permanent residents with our homes wired to the mains - but the shore power outlets for travel trailers are still here. I want to wire my shed with a 2-breaker system on a shore power inlet and this is the first video I've found that shows me not just the shore power inlet installation, but also the breaker panel and outlet wiring. Wahoo!!!
