Sorry no pics yet, seems like I need to resize them.
But, the cargo trailer has a 30 amp box on the inside and a plug on the outside with a screw on thing that a cord plugs into- but no cord.
Is this normal? and do I just buy a 30 amp cord so I can plug into electricity?

Also we plan to insulate- take down the plywood, insulate, and put it back up- I think 3/4 inch stiff insulation would work, am I right?

We are picking it up in a week or so, and I am trying to budget for what I need first-
Thanks

Take a close up picture of the inlet in the front of the trailer, and we can help you figure out what cable you need.

I installed a 30A marine inlet and have an adapter to a standard 15A 3 prong household connector if I need.

I love the look of that to start with. And 7-wide but still just 12 feet long with a single axle. :thumbsup: I often wish my 6X12 was a foot wider! Nice touch with the big window on the door, and window on the same side. Off to the races!

Thanks- it took a few weeks longer to get that door, but it will be worth it. I wish that was our shop, but really it is still at the dealer. Apparently, something made a dent in the front during transport so the dealer is replacing the piece in the front. It should be home by the end of the month.
Then, we will start doing what we need to do-our first list includes insulation, paint inside and some sort of coating for the roof, and flooring, and of course some tie downs.
Ahhh, the journey begins-
