adding external power plug

ccsachs

Has anyone added an external power plug to their trailer?
Yes, I realize that I can probably run a second power cord to the power box to work from shore power. But I have this trailer and it is already plugged in. Why not have a plug for external lights on my awning or other external power uses. Then I can just plug something in without having to run another super long cord.

I do not use the 30 Amp cord which comes with the T@G. Instead I use an extension cord and adapter. For external power, I have an Extension Adapter. Simple, cheap, weatherproof.

Thanks, James. That is another option. It just seemed strange that this trailer does not have a plug on the outside.

It was done done in the past, almost sure it is here on the forum, but coukd also be on the previous forum iteration.

Here are some links from the TaB forum. Not very helpful. The TaBs have had exterior 110 outlets since 2016. Tapping into an interior GFCI seems to be the easiest thing to do. Some suggested sourcing a marine grade outlet box.
