It should be very easy to install a 120v outlet on the street side of your 171 - particularly if you mount it close to the converter, so that your wire runs are all inside the dinette seat.]]> Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:49:42 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=876&PID=8304#8304 External AC outlet on left side : That's a good idea.  Might... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=876&PID=8292#8292 Author: techntrek

What about installing a 12V "porch" light on the the drivers side and front (like the one on the curb side) to aid in your set up in the dark?]]> Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:45:42 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=876&PID=8289#8289 External AC outlet on left side : Originally posted by yizitThat... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=876&PID=8189#8189 Author: TerryM

I'm sure they could.  The question is would they?  It can't hurt to ask.

It shouldn't be to hard to add outside outlets.  Ground fault ones with covers.

The only outlet on the left (street) side is inside the fridge compartment, and due to regulations the 2nd outlet is blocked.  Even if it were available nothing could be permanently plugged in w/o leaving the lower cover off.  It would be nice to have an external outlet on that side.
 
In my case, if I arrive at my site after dark I like to plug in a few AC lights so I have good visibility during setup (if I don't have full hookups I have an inverter in the tow vechicle).  I could run an extension cord around the side, but its an extra step I don't need when I first back in.  I could use battery-powered or gas-powered spotlights or lanterns but I don't need them the rest of the time I camp so I'd rather not carry them.  Also there can be camping situations where the street side is the best side to "set up camp".  With AC lines already run on both sides of the 'pod it would be fairly easy to add an extra box and outlet to the design.
