How we do electric at dog camp

[porthole]

Now it is too high, an adult could easily pee on it............

Not to worry, if the adults were tuned up enough to actually try that they probably would not make it up the hill with out falling down

You can always put up an electric fence around the boxes. That way they'll wiz on the electric fence first. Problem solved.

And after awhile, the fence will look like the grid on one of those mosquito traps. You'll be kept awake by the zzzzzzapping noise. Or maybe the screaming.

Ahh, moving on up on our electric at Dog camp.

We stared out with just some extension cords.
Then a donated panel and parts and big alligator clips on the main building panel.
Then more donated parts and a panel and hardwirng into the main panel each year
Then another donated panel and 150' of 6/4 SO wire

Last year we took over a breaker in the panel (bottom right) and added a receptacle to the main building panel. Only a 30 amp double pole breaker though.

The last donated panel was a 3 phase box, so we didn’t have all the breakers available. And 150’ of 6/4 SOOW wire hardwired to the remote panel was a real pain to maneuver.
This year we get an all new panel.
The panel includes a service disconnect as a bonus. All the outlets were changed to proper RV 30 amp receptacles, all the outlets are on individual breakers now and the power cord was cut to a more manageable < 100’ and uses a connector instead of being hardwired. And we have a new 50 amp double pole breaker to install in the main panel.
