If that's vinyl siding, the ideal way would be to use a vinyl siding block to mount it on. Arlington Industries makes the stuff that we use. The siding people say that the siding is supposed to be able to expand and contract. Either way, you're a step ahead of most folks that plug in at home

Very nice. I converted my 120v/240v 60a fused spa pullout to feed a 120v 30a RV plug but have wanted to switch over to a load center for sometime now. After seeing your pic I may even consider going the way you did.

Nice set up. I want the same, but my TT is stored about 60 yards from my power source. Just in the planning stage now
