You might penetrate hoses, electrical, tanks etc!!</i>).&nbsp; At this point Iplugged the trailer into shore power noting the lights on the Surge Guard came on, and after 128second delay the power came on throughout the trailer.&nbsp; After ensuring all was good Idisconnected from shore power.</span></p><p ="Ms&#111;normal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:  normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif;  mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;  color:black">As the unit is behind the wall, the remote was necessary.&nbsp; Toinstall this I drilled a hole into the cabinet above the stove hood and fed theremote wire down the wall beside the fridge using fish tape, exiting at thefridge external access panel.&nbsp; I then drilled another hole in the bottomof the fridge cabinet directly into the open electrical area, running the wireto the unit.&nbsp; Ensure the wire isn't anywhere close to hot surfaces on the back of the fridge.</span></p><p ="Ms&#111;normal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:  normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif;

To hide the original hole in the cabinet I used a telephone wire blockand ran the wire through it and along the bottom of the cabinet hiding it withwire channel.&nbsp; I trimmed a small section of the cabinet cover plate on the other end of the cabinet (sowire wouldn't be pinched).</span></p><p ="Ms&#111;normal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:  normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif;
