Count the space each charger occupies, not just the sockets on the station. Once electrical suitability has been established separately, make an unplugged footprint map that shows the charger body, neighboring outlets, controls, and required access. If the exact plug dimensions or station layout are missing, leave that combination unresolved. A plug fitting physically does not establish electrical compatibility.
This guide is for campers packing several already-qualified chargers. It describes a paper layout, not an energized fit test. No E200 or E103 outlet spacing, charger dimensions, or real packing trial was measured for this article.
Start with the exact station and charger identities
Write down the station model and regional electrical version, then the manufacturer and model of every charger. E200 and E103 are different FlashFish stations; a layout sketched for one is not a template for the other. Their overall case dimensions cannot tell you the spacing between sockets or the clearance around a particular plug.
Use the FlashFish model and regional manual directory to locate the station instructions. For E103, the 110V manual, printed pages 5–6, identifies ports and controls, and notes regional socket differences. The illustration is an identification aid, not a dimensioned outlet drawing. Match the actual unit and applicable manual before using any layout.
Keep the charger instructions beside the station instructions. If you have not established that the charger is suitable for that station output, finish that question first. This footprint check adds a separate physical constraint; it does not replace checks of voltage, power, waveform, or manufacturer permission.
Draw the occupied area without connecting equipment
Use an existing dimensioned drawing or safely obtained exterior measurements of disconnected equipment. Do not insert objects into sockets or open a charger or station. Mark the outline of the charger body relative to its plug, including any off-center projection. A rectangular body can extend mainly to one side of its pins, so a width alone may not locate its occupied space.
On the station sketch, mark the documented socket locations, switch positions and access areas. Add any clearance required by the applicable instructions rather than inventing a universal number. If those details are unavailable, ask the manufacturer for a dimensioned layout. Do not interpret an attractive product photograph as a scale drawing.
| Qualified charger | Plug/body footprint | Proposed outlet | Adjacent access | Orientation and result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exact charger model and electrical check reference | Documented outline, pin offset, and units | Exact station socket on your sketch | Nearby socket, switch, vent or cable access that could be obstructed | Only the documented orientation; fit clear, conflicting, or unresolved |
| Second charger, if separately suitable | Its own outline; do not copy the first | Its proposed socket, if present on that version | Overlap with the first body or required access | Keep missing geometry unresolved |
Separate a space conflict from a power problem
A footprint can conflict even when the separate electrical checks passed. Conversely, an unobstructed socket supplies no new evidence about the load. Record the two findings in different columns so that “fits” cannot accidentally become “approved to run.”
If the sketch shows a conflict, remove that combination from the proposed simultaneous arrangement and revisit your packing plan. Do not solve it here with a splitter, rotated adapter, extension, forced insertion, or an altered charger. Any different arrangement needs its own applicable instructions and electrical evaluation.
Three hypothetical packing decisions
These are fictional planning outcomes, not FlashFish measurements or verified charger pairings.
A wide plug body reaches a neighboring socket
A camper's dimensioned sketch shows charger A covering part of an adjacent socket. The camper marks that socket unavailable in this proposed layout. Two visible sockets do not establish two usable positions for these particular bodies.
The outline is clear but the switch is blocked
A second layout leaves the next socket visible, but the charger body crosses the documented switch-access area. The camper rejects that arrangement rather than counting socket visibility as a complete fit check.
The photograph has no reliable scale
A third camper has only a listing photo and a charger model name. Outlet spacing and plug offset remain unknown. The useful next step is to request the missing drawing, not to guess a millimeter gap from the image.
FAQ
Does a small charger wattage mean its plug is compact?
No physical footprint follows from a wattage rating. Record the exact charger body's dimensions and plug position independently of its electrical rating.
Can I use the station's overall width to estimate outlet spacing?
No. Case width does not locate socket centers, recessed areas or controls. Obtain the exact exterior layout or leave the affected fit question open.
What should I save for the next trip?
Save the dated sketch with station version, charger model numbers, dimension sources and unresolved fields. A replacement charger or different station version needs a new check.
