According to an active thread in the Tech section, your outlets should be ground side up.

Looks good Tom, that's a good idea! One time my cushions and bumpers had such a hayday down in the cabin I couldn't open the door on my 290!

Copper stranded is a recipe for disaster.

Everything I just wrote is related to dc. Dc travels on the outside of the strand......so more strands, lower resistance (impedance higher)

1 20a gfi will feed an additional 9 on the load side. Ac uses the entire line, so solid is a much better decision. Always ground up....or opposite of what u see in your house. This is for safety. Only.

Not saying how you did it was wrong. I just wanted to point out a thread on the same topic showing the outlets upside down. First I had heard of that. I will be interested to see how Formula wires their outlets up when I am down in LOTO here in a few weeks.
