[Rhodes22-list] AC panel location?

If you have a 30 amp shore power conection you'll need a panel with one or more 15 amp breakers for your distribution circuits. They should be GFI breakers. I think GB puts the AC panel next to the 12 volt panel because it is convenient to the inlet connector location on the side of the cabin trunk and its a convenient dry location

However it is probably a good idea to separate it a little from the 12 volt panel to minimize possible confusion with the wiring. Not fun to disconnect or cut a wire thinking its 12 volt and find its 120 !

Lee,

Thanks for the comeback.  The panel in the pic is your 12 volt panel.  I 
have one in the same place on Serenity.  The additional panel that I am 
talking about is an AC (120 volt) beaker panel that is just about the same 
size as the 12 volt panel that you and I have. I'm not quite sure that this 
is necessary  ( I would welcome any opinions by others that know more about 
electricity than I)  on the Rhodes.
