I commend you on the parts you used, wire nuts, pigtails, ground screws, and the crimp terminals you showed. You also properly mounted the outlets on the raised cover. Your explanation of the parts and the tools you used was awesome. But I have to ask a few questions. Aren't you worried about using this in a wet environment? The 15A receptacles on a 30A breaker? Is there GFCI protection on your generator? These contraptions are basically death traps, although yours was the best built I've seen on UA-cam. As for safety these are a OSHA violation on any jobsite not to mention NEC issues. My recommendation would be a portable GFCI device and a splitter, all within side your vehicle out of any wet environment. All being said be safe.
thanks just built mine, works perfect! a couple parts were different for example instead of a silver and gold screw, i had silver and black screws. also for the outlets i used spade terminals instead of pushing the wire trough the outlet part
Something folks don't usually look for is that the orientation of the wires at one end of the cable comes out different when looking at the other end. At one end the black and white will be positioned to easily attach to a plug. At the other end you would have to cross the white and black during assembly which makes it hard to get the wires into some plugs. In short, examine your cable and attach the easy end to the plug.
Thanks for the instructions. It would even better if you posted a list of the materials used here. Sometimes I didn't understand you. Like what you called the black plastic connector that you fed the main wire into the box. It sounds like cpv?
Is called cgv thanks I’ll do it!! Also now I been making them for costumers I sale the on my website if interested so I can save you time! Let me know 😁👍🏼
You did a dynamite job! Perhaps as previously mentioned you could leave a list of your parts. Looks & sounds like Home Depot supplied the parts. Great job, great explanations.
Very interesting, but aren't you plugging that twistlock male plug you made into a 240 volt generator outlet to feed the 120 volt quad box? Won't that 240 volts destroy any 120 volt appliances you plug into the quadbox?
This one is a 120 volts to do a 240v you need to split the 2 hot lines one for each receptacle and share the neutral in order to have 2 120 Receptacles different ckt. If you have any more questions let me know thanks for waiting!!
Awesome vid man. What kind of amperage are you getting per socket? I have a 25 amp generator. I am guessing the amperage is divided between the equipment i plug in as needed however, if i have only one thing plugged needing 20 amps, this setup will deliver the needed amps, correct?
LeJeune Detailing you are right !! Is all depends on the equipment, if you use your vacuum for example will pull 8 to 10 amps and if you add the compressor will pull an other 12 to 14 amps = 20 or 22 amps of the 25 amps that you have so if you add an other tool will trip. Thanks bro for watching and subscribe!!
@@RaldasDetails Thanks for the reply man. I have been watching you for a while. I really enjoy the info you have given me over the past year. I just purchased my first van and my equipment is on the way. Should be up and running in 2 weeks.
For future reference if you actually curl the wire around the screw the connection is better and has less chance of coming out and arcing. Love the idea of this!
Actually the way he mounted them is the intent of the manufacturer. I used to wrap my wires around the screws but the clamping plates work well. Merry Christmas everyone!
man i priced stuff out today ,, its now cheaper to buy a 25ft cord all ready made off Amazon then it is to go to HD and build one :( Im putting my generator in the front of my trailer and running the power out along the wall to the back doors. i was looking forward to making one of these but it will cost more. its $2.55 per foot for the eso ..
Ralda, It is an OSHA violation to make an extension cord and use it in a business unless you had it tested and listed by an approved testing agency, like UL. If there is a problem, and someone gets hurt, they will probably blame you. Also, if you were trying to follow NEC rules, the metal box is illegal, the over current ahead of the 20 amp receptacles in the generator being 23 amps is illegal. If you would like to see the OSHA rule that says what you made for a business is illegal, just comment and I will get you the link.
Well yes this video was mainly to let people know that they can use on their setups. The way I build the now is with GFCI receptacles and bell box and waterproof cover! Thanks for the advice I really appreciate you!
Hi guys! Also now I’m offering this at my website!! If interested contact me at raldasdetails.com thanks for your support 🙏👍🏼
My guy how can I get in touch with you to make me a set up like this. I also have a kranzle pressure washer and want to me an extension plug for it.

Did you use 20 or 15 amp receptacles and will this set up work on a on a powerhouse 4500 inverter generator
15 amps yes this one will work on the powerhouses Gen!
Hello Tony is there any electrical extension reel that 30 amps around 50 long you can recommend
Would this make a possible outlet with a 20A rating give a 30A current? Would it better to had a 20A breaker and use only one gang?
Probably!
Awesome vid man.

LeJeune Detailing awesome man so happy my videos are helping thanks for the support and I hope all goes great with your business!!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Hey Tony wanted to ask would that 250v L6-30P fit on a predator 3500 or would it need be swapped out for a 120v L5 30P so it will fit? Thank you!
Yes will work 👍🏼
It has to be L5, L6 will not fit the predator 3500
How much do you charge to make and ship to nj or va?I'm not good with electric.
Send me an email at raldasautodetail@gmail.com 👍🏼
dude these how to videos are great !!! Thanks
How can I inquire about one of these ? And do you have a video on how to shorten the kranzle cord?
Yes I do I offer this in my website raldasdetails.com you can contact me from there thanks 🙏
Hey Tony! How do you call that wire you screwed on to the box? Thanks in advance @Raldas detail
Pick tail
What gauge is the wire?
