I think I have seen mention of this brand, 'Blue Sea'.

Is this one of the models that you guys have installed in
your coaches?

Richard,

I installed this one a couple of years ago. Works just fine. Good quality.

That looks like the one I put in a few years ago as well. It's a nice quality product. I had to change the terminals on the wires, as the barriers for the wire terminals on the Blue Sea one were too narrow for the GMC terminals.

Also, back when I was looking, Amazon.com had it for around the same product price, but you could get free shipping on it.

I am thinking that you might want the 5026 that has a ground bus so you don't have to wire each circuit to its own ground? Is that right? Anyone?

That is a great unit but try http://www.manventureoutpost.com/products/Blue-Sea-5029-ST-Blade-Fuse-Block-w%7B47%7DCover-%252d-12-Circuit-w%7B47%7Dout-Negative-Bus-%285029%29.html for better pricing, they best my wholesale marine account on most blue sea products by a substantial amount. Don't know how they do it. Be sure to consider shipping when making price comparison.

Armand,

Yes, that is correct.

While I will admit that the boats I work on have a different ground problem (like none available), I will also tell you that finding a good ground in a GMC is not always simple.

It is because of that that I used a fuse panel with a ground buss for my additional house fuses. Unless the power requirement is really high, the cost of running two conductors in stead of one is not a real issue. It also make trouble shooting when thing don't go as planned far easier. My audio system, cell repeater, CB and two additional DC mouse holes all come off the additional panel.

they are a pro grade electrical supplier. I bought an 80 amp 8 way atc/ato fuse block for the old dodge. has a nice cover to keep the water out Smile it was 5.91.
the only problem is they have a min $25 dollar order.
