Dear Darrell,

Thanks for the input.  This sounds much easier than running a new wire
from starter battery to aux  and installing a new relay, etcetera.

Anyway, how often is the draw going to approach 30 amps. For some, more
often than others, but for me, a few of times a year probably.  I have
propane for the fridge.

Are these interruptors expensive?  Radio Shack item?
