add power outlets to enclosed trailer

Hello all,

I have an 8.5×20 enclosed trailer. I bought a Ford F150 Powerboost with the 7.2Kw generator built in. I would like to add either a 240v or 120v outlet so I can plug my truck into my trailer either while diving or at the road course.

I’d love to find a surface mount for the outside to not add any more drag.

Has anyone done this and have any pictures or suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

If you want to have 240 volts connected while driving down the road, you most likely will want a waterproof power inlet with a twist lock type locking ring. The one featured below does NOT come with an enclosure box for the interior of the trailer.
You would need to provide your own or mount it such that it is within the present enclosure, if the interior of your trailer is already wired.

Don’t know why the link is dead. A quick search should turn up the power inlet for you. “MARINCO–Inlet, 50A 125/250V, Without Enclosure, Stainless Steel”

thansk, the link did work for me.
