Shore power inlet installation
I recently acquired another RV, so it was time to add a Marine style shore power inlet like I did on my previous RV. Here's the detailed video of the project

You forgot to show how to wrestle a cold stiff cord and then find a place to store it, now that it won't be inside the RV.
With my clipper (motorhome) I simply leave it at home if I'm dry camping. If I'll have hookups, I just toss it in the back of the rig so I can grab it on arrival and hookup. Much easier than spending time trying to wrestle that stiff cord into a little space and then wrestle it back out.
With my FnR (trailer) I now do the same. When I start traveling with it, it will go on the floor in the backseat of my tow vehicle. Ready to grab when needed, ignored when not. Again a lot easier than trying to wrestle it into a little space and then wrestle it back out.
My boss just installed the inlet on my trailer a few weeks ago for me. I had to shove the attached cord into the hole to drive it to where he was - that took about 2 minutes. When I got there, it took us 10 minutes to get it pulled out so he could cut it off. In comparison, at that point, I just tossed the cord in the back of my vehicle, drove home, and plugged in the trailer with it - maybe 30 seconds to deal with the cord.
