Looking at powering up a 16X8 bunk house for hunting purposes, currently it has 4 plug sockets, and 2 light switches powering 3 lights(2 inside and 1 outside porch light). Wondering on what type of breaker panel would be best to use with the plan on having it powered from a generator. I only require 120V power and would like to plug right in to my Honda 3000... any advice would be appreciated... thnx

is everything on 1 circuit. if so just get one of the RV flush mount plugins and wire to it. Then you just need an extension cord off your generator.

Nothing is currently hard wired.... wires are run from plugs and switches ... I do believe there would be 2 separate circuts .... thnx

Do you run anything that needs 110-120v?
Your cabin sounds like mine, I find the generator is over kill, all we run is four lights (right now cfl 13w each) a fan and charge our phones.
I'd like to just go 12volt, use led light strips, find a 12v RV fan. Then I'd just use deep cycles and a solar panel.
