Very easy to install all in one.

I used this for wall mounted TVs in my RV. Added some photos so people can see what it looks like. The photo only shows the item from the front.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Don't waste your time and money!

I ordered these for a compact space project and was very disappointed! It was impossible to terminate the 12 gauge wire. After an extremely tedious 30 minute struggle with the installation, I gave up and cut out the flat boxes. I am an electrician and have been working in this field for 20 years. I've dealt with all sorts of fights at work, but this one definitely wasn't worth the time and money.

Pros
  • Durable Finish
Cons
  • Damaged

Nothing more to say except wish it was made in the USA instead of China. One note though: if you haven't already replaced your RV socket, like the indoor types, this type doesn't have screw terminals to hold wires, but instead has a special back cover that pushes wires through narrow metal channels that connect to the outlet behind each outlet. This requires a lot of force and I had to use a large clamp (an auto disc brake service one) to push the back cover (and the wires inside) into the…

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
