110/120 male plug under hood

[MsBhaven]

I have a 110/120 male plug strapped to the isolator under my hood (2007 Chevy 190p). I’m hoping it is for a block heater but I can’t follow the wiring to confirm it. Does anyone with a similar model know what it’s function is? Thnx in advance MBH

I'd slide under the motor and look for a block heater installed into one of the freeze plugs in the engine block


block heaters are usually not a factory option and might be installed by a cold weather dealer as an option or by the owner at a shop


they would do the install in an easy location to get to and see


so if one is there you should be able to see it

Block heater. Canadian built vehicles often have them. My PW had one installed from the factory. Never needed it where I have lived, but would be nice if you need to start your camper in sub -20 degree F weather.

Thanks Mike for the suggestion. I had also thought perhaps the 110 plug was possibly integrated with the isolator, given it’s location, for winter storage to keep both chassis and coach batteries charged. I have a pic of it I’d like to share but haven’t figured out how to add it to my post.
