Re: electrical
Sounds like aneat idea, but you have no disconnect now, so why would you really need it and when would you use it?

Re: electrical
Well Ken you are right, but since I don't have one doesn't justify the reason I don't need one. does it? Len how do I know the one on the pedestal will protect a surge to the MH? I guess I am being a little over protective here, but rather be safe than sorry. I am only out $14.00 for the disconnect, so the cost is little to me for a little piece of mind. But I do appreciate all comments, this is how I learn things by asking. BTW I have not installed it yet

Re: electrical
It won't hurt anything, and your right, it did not cost much. No harm in putting it in. Most of my trailers have a battery disconnect but that is for 12 volts.
Actually, as I am typing this, you already have one....the main breaker!!

Re: electrical
What does your "disconnect" look like? Does it have a name that an electrician would know?
BTW, you can't "protect" your MH from a "surge." We've had long discussions on this forum about that.
It's a myth derived from those that don't understand and those that sell the products to "protect" you from them.

Re: electrical
Yes Tex any electrician would be able to name it. It is a Cutter Hammer 30 AMP DISCONNECT, this company is well known. It is the same that is used on your air condition. It is at the out side unit for the ac person can "disconnect" the power before he works on the ac unit. :laugh:
