TrailManor Owner's Forum - View Single Post - Replacing A/C power cord with twist lock connector

I did the same thing a couple of years ago except that I mounted the socket in the 'floor'. It was relatively easy. First I removed the converter so I could see the area. Then I drilled a 1/4" pilot hole to be sure I wasn't going to drill in the wrong place. Then I used a hole saw, about 3", to drill through the floor. I cut the power cord so that the 'pigtail' from the converter would go through the hole with enough to spare that I could make connections to the socket. Then I put the new plug on the power cord. Be careful to follow the wiring color code. Now we can get the trailer 'ready to roll' in the evening even to the point of hitching to the tv. However, don't forget to unplug the power cable before you drive away.
