[Mobile-Portable] Re: How To Get Rig Power in Rental Car?

[kd4e]

Wow, I had not considered coming out of the hood and in the
door!

Does the insulation on the cable get damaged by the hood or
the passenger door?

What gauge wire are you using, please?

I could use painter's tape to keep the cable out of the way 
once inside without messing up the carpet with duct tape 
stickum.
