Yeah. Like I said I got excited by the problem. There’s something wrong with me that I love 12 volt electrical problems. I didn’t realize that over riding everything from the tent was a feature that was wanted. I got a head of myself before I read everything. One day I’ll get control of my adhd.

Oh, I completely understand.

I don't know that the override was requested by the OP. I just incorporated it because that's what I would want.

I would want it on mine as well. But if I was putting it together for someone else I probably wouldn’t add it. I could see somebody accidentally bumping that switch. Then when nothing works they would tear things apart before remembering to check the tent switch.

It would stink to stow the tent to later realize the switch was in override. It's a significant concern.
