- Here is an easy/ clean way to add power to you trailer. This is a build I've been working on as a camping trailer for my small family. Take a look and share any questions or comments you have.

Installed one of those on our Sled trailer a few days ago. Looks good and works as advertised.
@@VonSpud yes it is a great simple way to add power to any sort of vehicle or trailer.
Exactly the solution I was looking for! Thanks for posting!
@@1funcar great I’m glad this video was able to help you out in a small way. Take care.
Added this exact same unit to my camper shell yesterday. Took 5 minutes and works great
Yes! easy to install and looks great.
Wired my schoolie this way. One runs the front half and another runs the back half. 3 years and zero issue

Would this work to plug in a refrigerator in and air fryer? For a food trailer? Hooked up to a generator?
Absolutely!! Best way!!
Good video Sir thank you. One question though: didn't you need spacers for the screws between the metal exterior and the wooden interior to prevent the outer skin from caving in?
How is this 2 years later without siliconing the outside, leak proof?
I am about to do similar but I will use silicone as an extra precaution.
I will drill the exterior 2" hole.
Then drill a small pilot hole into the wood via the 2" hole about 1/4 of the way up from the 2" hole's bottom. In the area where the cable will be located.
Then using that pilot hole from the inside I will drill a hole just big enough for the plug to go through the hole into the trailer. Not a 2" hole.
Then I will put something around the cable at the small hole to hold the cable from bouncing around when the trailer is being towed. Maybe there is something to finish the interior hole that I am not aware of yet.
Then there would be no hole in the wood for something to bounce into and fall down inside the wall. And the cable is secure. And others would see I did a professional job.
You could use a cable wire clip to hold the wire when it comes in the trailer and a larger grommet to finish on the inside. Might find a PVC fitting you could use also.
I was thinking exactly the same thing instead of having a large hole inside when a smaller one would work to feed the cord through. Great minds DO think alike.
Good idea.
Nice vid. But only one negative to say don’t you ever put a ryobi bit holder on a Milwaukee drill sir. That’s a no no lol
That is hilarious! Thanks for the heads up. I was wondering why my Milwaukee drill was screaming noooooooo!
That’s a lot of weight hanging from that plug with it that high.
Could this power a small tv ?
Yes, just think of it as an extension cord
Nice. How much? What do i search for?
Hey thanks for checking out the vid! There is a link in the description.
Nice
Thanks Nick!
I run into the same issue with the cable on the back.
This has the prongs for an extension cord female side to plug into. So now the other side of the extension cord is male. How do I plug a fan into that? I can't.
power bar!
Is this strong enough to run a 110 air conditioner on?
Yes just think of it as an extension cord basically.
@@makeitworkdiy3768 one more question...can it run an air condition and a dorm size fridge at the same time?
@@suedunn8853 pretty sure it could manage it.
@@makeitworkdiy3768 thank you for being so helpful.....
@@suedunn8853 Hey did you try the AC and fridge ?
Any link?

Did you need silacone?
Hey Quentin!
I didn't use any because it had that rubber gasket. It wouldn't hurt to add some. I haven't had an issue yet.
