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.

Fits perfectly, no more extension cord hanging out of the door to top off the batteries.
Awesome thanks for the photos 🙂
The entry box fit perfectly and it was easy to install. We ran our NOCO cord up the D pillar in the rear of our Ford Transit, now we’re ready to plug in our heater for some winter camping. Thanks so much!
Thank you for the feedback and photos!
Glad we could help 🙂
It fit very solidly (You must buy the Noco plug separately). Routing the wires was the tricky part and I had to do it before clicking the part into place so my arm still fit into the pillars. I routed up into the D-pillar, then toward the front of the cabin through another hole that goes into the gap in the lower rear side panel (The picture helps see where). The wires were “just” long enough to have some slack after I mounted this into the frame. I had bought the NOCO plug months ago and was going to put it into the plastic bumper cover, but never got around to that. So I had been running a power cord into the van and closing the van door on the cord. That was dangerous. Two downsides – 1) It is pricey. But it’s very unique, nothing like it, and saved me from drilling any holes in the van at all. 2) After a test fit, I had trouble removing it so I could route the wires. When squeezing in the edge, I ended up cracking it a little and had to use some plastic repair epoxy. I don’t expect to ever remove it again. The idea of putting a bead of silicone around it may be a good idea.
Just what I needed!
Easy install! We had to replace our previous shore power port after we accidentally drove off with the van plugged in. This facing backwards is a huge advantage since it means if we pull forward it’ll just pull itself out.
Looked up installation instructions online, didn’t understand that the screws were the hex head in the entry box, tried to use the Phillips head that came with the power cord. Oops!
The click when the box snaps in place is very satisfying. Looking forward to easy shore power.
Awesome product and super fast shipping. I was really impressed that there were threaded nuts embedded in the product so that bolts were used which last much longer if you have to remove the Noco plug. Since the Noco plug installs upside down, I drilled a drain hole in the opposite side and plugged the original one with silicone. Additionally, I put a bead of silicone around the shore power box on 3 sides to make it water tight. I am really impressed by the product and swift shipping and will be looking for other products to purchase from you.
Thank you for the kind words, glad you like it 🙂
I haven’t installed it yet. I didn’t read the fine print – was too excited. So I thought the chord came with it. Which makes me think $70 seems a little expensive for this part alone if I’m being completely honest. However, I understand what goes into it and fully appreciate you guys designing it. If it goes the distance, then the price is justified (hopefully you have a better 3D printer than I do). Thank you again for all of these van solutions! Have a great rest of the summer.
