I can't seem to find the post where a member used a jobsite GFI box for a cheap shorepower rig. I found one similar post during my search, but that member uses a GFI outlet strip similar to a surge protector (long, with multiple outlets). The one I'm searching for had pics in his/her photo album.
I picked up a twin outlet GFI box from Northern Tool yesterday
 
I believe you are reffering to Sneaks photo album. We both have a similar setup. You can find the GFI box WITH a 15amp breaker here:

I cut the plug off of it and wired into a marinco shore power recepticle. I also have an onboard battery charger plugged into the GFI. Though not technically a shore power system it does work as one as long as you don't pull more than 15 amps. It's nice to at least be able to charge the batteries while at the dock.
 
That's the same box that I just purchased....I'll check Sneaks album...thanks!
 
Hi All,
Looks like a good idea but I'm wondering if the GFI will protect you if the supply neut is common to other ckts at the dock?
