Mac,

I thought of the same idea, however, you could run into a problem with the devices that read temperature. We might have to use one
of these depending on the sensor material:

We used a lot of copper constantan thermocouples to monitor temps on test equipment for Project Apollo. Having said that we were
interested in EXACT readings and on a GMC that isn't necessary.

Since MOST of the wires for the Digipanel are color coded, I MAY use the small "bullet" type crimp connectors to split/join the
wires before installing the panel. You could alternatively use Anderson PowerPole connectors. These non-polarized and insulated
connectors are available in either 8 or 10 different colors and can even be joined together physically to make a pair of customized
mating plugs that cannot be put together incorrectly! Now that I think of it, I believe this is the route I will take.

Lots of sources for these, but one I know of is www.powerwerx.com

You would want to use the 30 Amp housings and the 15 Amp "pins" for the small size of the Digipanel wires.

The special crimping tool is the most satisfactory means to make the connections, but is not absolutely necessary.

I plan to make the 2017 Shawnee Convention/Rally even if I can't get my coach running by then, and could easily bring my specialized
tools to do these if there is a desire for me to do so.
