Ok, here's the situation. I overnight often in my 22' walkaround at a marina where shore power is available. I can open the hatch and part of the door and stay cool most nights, but sometimes I need an AC fan. Also, sometimes I like to use a laptop that if the battery dies requires an AC adapter.<br /><br />I know the correct thing to do (thanks to posts I found here) is to install a shore power cord with a plug on the boat, to a 30amp breaker, to smaller breakers then to a GFI outlet. Also, a galvanic isolator should be between the AC and 12V boat ground. I know this is the "correct" option for shore power. However, I don't require it that often, not to mention at the present time I am on a tight budget. So I was looking and saw that Hubbel makes this nifty little adapter that has a twist lock 30A plug that leads into a 15A GFI, then out to a 120/125V straight blade pigtail receptacle. The GFI is in a neat waterproof-looking package.<br /><br />This little unit cost 70 dollars, but that's half the cost of an isolator alone. So is this a good, and SAFE, option for me??? Any opions would be greatly appreciated!!!
