My RV has these mobile home style self contained outlets
no box, just a snap together thing with spring contacts that grab through the conductor insulation.
It's a pass & seymour
I'm assuming these are common with RV's but this is my 1st experience with them.
I'm wanting to add an outlet down stream of an existing outlet.
The existing outlet is in a location with maybe 1-1/2in or so cavity, so not likely room for a box
It looks like this outlet could handle two conductors so that I could add a circuit fed from this outlet, but I'm not sure.
I have searched with google and cannot find a data sheet or info about them.
The existing outlet isn't in a high use location, and my new outlet is not intended for high load either.... but I don't want to cause a potential future problem either.
I'm very comfortable with electrical work, I just haven't seen this type of outlet before and don't know what it's rated for.
