Dieselgem, I'm thinking of getting a 50A Frank's Autoformer. I was wondering what cabling you have to have to connect it. It looks like you made up a short cable between the coach and Autoformer and a long one to the pole. Are you able to use the 50A cable that comes with the coach?

Where can one find info on PI Industries and their EMS? Where can one buy it? Not much luck on the Web.

Dennis Fineran, a friend of mine and a fellow iRV2 contributor, had his Frank's unit fail the very first time he used it. He said the owner is a very nice guy, but has had to make more than one trip back to get his 50A unit to work correctly.
I personally have the Hughes 50A model and it has saved me many a time.
Just my two cents...

Enough said. That's Why I turned Franks's refund into a PowerMaster.
