Yep. It appears to be extremely easy. Of course those are the ones that bite you.

It will get below freezing maybe 5-6 times during the winter. It is rare it stays below freezing for days, althought that happens ~every other year or so.

Problem is the cold front brings rain which turns to sleet, which leads to very slick roads.

Most folks don't know how to drive on snow or ice so it is a real rodeo.

That's a nice 20amp system.. !!that would work good on AGM batteries as they like a good charge..
Are you opting for a transom outlet? Or cord when needed?
