Default Another one for you trailier owners. Hooking up to Elec?

1. Purchase the right adapter from the local trailer dealer for a good penny $16+.
2. Install a female receptacle on the trailer, build a male to male pig tail (unsafe).
3. Drill a hole in the trailer be it through the floor or wall, big enough to run a bare cord through and then make up the ends female to male one inside the other outside and conceal the other end under the trailer somehow.

Anyother ideas?

Thanks
Randy

Randy, your right, male to male very unsafe, and unwise. Go to your local computer guys and get the chassis male plug that you normally have in your computer and build a normal extension with the proper female plug to plug into the trailer.
For the road, I never use an inverter, I would rather use one the tail lights wire to supply 12 volts to a field charger and an onboard 12 volt DC fluorescent light.
