To complete this DIY project, you will also need:

- 10/3 AWG Triplex Flat Wire (Buy on Amazon or BayMarineSupply).
Also refer to: Park Power (Marinco) 30A Shore Power Inlet Installation Guide (pdf)
5. Tighten the four screws until the gasket makes a good contact with the entry box and the inlet (don’t overtighten):
Heads Up: Drip Loop!
Drip loops prevent water from reaching a connector, terminal, and mitigate the risk of corrosion, which is often the cause of a bad connection (more resistance = overheat = fire hazard). Indeed, water from condensation (or such) flows down the wire and drips off at the lowest point. You can control where the water drips and evacuates, as shown in this cross-section view:
The entry box fits the driver or passenger side. Driver side is shown below.
8. Route the 10/3 AWG wire through the D-Pillar cutout:
9. Grab and pull the wire from inside the van:
10. Start with the front of the entry box:
11. Press on the back side(squeeze) and push up to snap the entry box in place:
(To remove the entry box press on the back side first, then pull down.)
That’s it!
Electrical System Wiring
For years we routed the charger/converter’s power cord through the doors or through the D-Pillar cutout… It worked OK, but the Entry Box is definitely more convenient! We keep our charger/converter plugged to the entry box extension cord, then connect to the shore when needed:

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Do It Yourself.
We wanted a better shore power entry box for the Ford Transit, so we made one.
This is an homemade product.
Each part is individually 3D printed and assembled by us. This is not a mass-produced product. This is a crafted, hand-made product.
Low Volume.
We created this product for our own needs, to make just a few units. There is no way for us to ramp up the production and lower the price, unless we take it to injection molding manufacturing but that’s a whole another level we’re not considering at the moment.
