Hi, Mike,

Seahorse has a very simple system, which can happen when you don't have
aircon. There are two conventional 30A shore connectors, in two
locations. One is wired as usual to the 3kW Heart inverter/charger. The
other is labeled "220V 50Hz only" and is connected to a MCarron battery
charger. There is a double-throw switch so that either shore connection
may be used to power the McCarron, and the McCarron is, of course,
capable of this. This gives back-up capability of two chargers (but
still only one inverter). A "pigtail" 30A adaptor is carried so as to
accomodate foreign power receptacles.

How do most PUPers configure their Passagemaker to connect to

International

Power, i.e. 110 versus 220 AC and 50 Hz or 60 Hz?
