As for those weep/drain holes, I used the one in the driver-side rear of our 2017 21 as a port to install a short 110V extension cord without having to drill another access hole through the...

Maybe it's just me, but that's about 23' further from bed to bath than I want to trek in the middle of the night. In our "classic" 21, that ritual is just two steps.

FWIW, I believe additional receivers were $75 each back when they were offered as an option on ETI's build sheet. (Or were they one of those infamous "off the sheet" options? I'll have to go back...

My bad. I was blinded by strong desire for a quieter little fridge and jumped to an errant post. I hate when that happens, and hate it even more when I'm the culprit.

For reference, this is what the 40A "battery fuse" looks like in our 2017 21. It would be pretty hard to miss, if you have one. Like others have mentioned, I carry a spare but have never needed it.
