i still need a 30amp cord! rich?

Good morning everyone! Let's all have a great week! I'm working at home this morning and then going on the road for the rest of the day.
I'm really liking my new job. A lot less hassles and headaches.

We have them here in stock at all times. Are you going to put a convertor in too or just have a couple outlets running off of the cord.

Then all we need to the cover for the hole in the wall to pass the cord through unless you want to put the newer Marinco style plug on each end. Would be cheaper to shove it through though.

yeah i've researched them and i'm not sure what they cost, but i'm sure it'd steer me towards a pass-thru setup.

so yeah i need to get an exterior door and fabricate some sort of tray for the cord to lay on in the stowed position (i want it to be under the interior deck and have the wired end of the cord come up through the floor into box, since the box is down by the floor).

Lots of different ways to make all that happen. Just depends on where converter sits in the trailer. Might have to have an RV GTG over at your place sometime

Hard wired in is by far the cheapest. The trailer side of the marinco plug is around $50, then you need the jump wire from marinco to standard 30 amp cord, another $45. The hardwire hole and little flap door is around $10.

Blah blah blah. Rich doesn't know anything about RV's, he just finances them to the poor saps that think they want one. Then pushes the extended warranty on them. Poor saps.

That little dude on the right looks like you at the last show.

Anyway. I think I know a little bit, seems how I have been camping and towing and maintaining them since I could drive.
