+Rick618 Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I looked in another geocachers ride the other day and saw the array of gadgets and power 12v power cables. Yesterday, after parking on the side of the road all a tilt, I had to move the gps power cable around the Sirius reciver and having to unplug one of the cell phone power adapters I got caught in the twisted cord from the radar detector. It looked like a bad hair day had happened right over the radio display or an electronic yarn ball had exploded near the vent. No pda/laptop (yet) but there is 2 cell phones (work and home phone), Sirius, radar detector, and now the gps power cord and only 3 outlets. Looks like its time to run some seperate power or direct back to the panel. Quote Link to comment
