Any ideas for shore power mounting bracket?

[murrman]

I plan on installing an on-board battery charger/maintainer, and I’m trying to plan out how/where to run the power cord. I’ve seen a lot of pre-made power plug brackets for things like a Transit van or Sprinter van. So far, I haven’t been able to find anything that I think would work on a Bronco. Before I go down the diy route, I wanted to check to see if anyone knew of a solution that would work. Ideally, I’d like to be able to plug it in without having to pop the hood. The cleaner the look, the better.

One option I'm considering is to get the DV8 Crash Bar Caps w/ Accessory Mount, and figuring out a bracket that would attach to that to fit the NOCO GCP1. That would be a little pricey, but I still need to find a bracket of some sort (or make one), that would work.

I installed a Genius 5 on my Bronco. Thought of using the GCP1, but decided the easier way was just to run the power plug thru the hood to an outlet on the garage. Worked fine so far. I bolted the GeN5 to the air filter box and ran the power wires to the battery on top of the radiator area. It has saved my battery as my trips are not to long for the most part.

Did you route it so that you don't have to open the hood, or do you pop the hood when you need to plug it in?

I have to open the hood.
