Curtis, 
If you will look real good in the compartment that has the transformer in it , you will find a standard 110 wall outlet 
that was mounted at the factory. Mine is on the left wall when you open the compartment door..
 (1978 , 28')  You could plug in there. My is hot all the time.
Hope this helps,
Kent

Subject: [SilverStreak] Electrical question

I have never totally understood the theories behind the limited supply of 110 power 
throughout our 74 SS. Why some outlets only work with the transformer switch on and 
others work with it off. If someone can give me a laymens explanation I would 
appreciate it.
My main question is where would it be best / safest to tap into a 110 source? I have 
installed a new ceramic lined hot water heater and it runs on gas or electric. I can 
handle the installation of all except the electrical. I have a friend who is an 
electrician but knows little about campers. I dont think I could find or afford a 
good camper electrician so I want to direct the guy to the most reliable source for 
110 on the SS. Should we go through the transformer or directly through a breaker?
