I know I've seen pictures here of the plastic fixture that mounts on outside of trailer that has the 3 prong plug to hook an extension cord to the trailer for power but can't find it! Where do y'all get that??

I have bought mine at Academy Sporting Goods for around 15bux...they are commonly used for hardwired battery chargers on bass boats(at least around here).......................

What you want may be one of the Marinco 30A inlets (they are fairly standard RV fare

They are a bit expensive but do what they need to do, keep water out and transmit electricity.

Now, that one I can afford...or...just run the extension cord up from underneath!

I used this 15A inlet connector. Less than $20 at Amazon.com

Like MJ said, any local Academy has the Marinco 15A inlet you'd find somewhere online.
Only its cheaper and available locally.
Admittedly a deal-breaker for some people that like to pay for shipping & handling, wait for it come in the mail, and pay more

, but I'm kind of a tightwad.
