Hi @Alan932

Please don't do that. You'd need to rig up what's often called a 'Suicide' lead. It needs exposed pins, and is aptly named. Please, nonono..

Yeh, technically it might if you manage to get the Live and Neutral pins around the right way. Then you might plug shore power in at the same time.. that'd be fun too.

I can see what you want to do, and the el-cheapo way would be to wire in a plug to fit your shore power inlet, and plug it in there. Only if you have a single inlet though.
