How do you run the power cable from the TT to the generator? My connection is on the side of the TT and the generator would be on the hitch or the bumper?
About the only "safe" way to do that would be to run a second umbilical cord either under, or inside the trailer somehow to make a connection where ever the generator will be placed. I suppose someone could tape the cord to the side of the camper and run it underneath the camper, but it would have to be tied up somehow so it would not drag the ground.
The umbilical cord on my Outback is at the very back of the camper. By removing a simple panel on the inside, I have complete and easy access to where the cord attaches to the main wire. At that junction, it would be very easy to simply cut a hole in the back wall and install a box. Where the original umbilical cord attaches to the main wires, simply splice in (in this case, it's connected in) with a second cord. Then use a very short umbilical cord, just long enough to reach the generator on the bumper. (if it were on the back bumper). It would not take much at all d do this, just a little ingenuity.
But I agree with you. To do this with a travel trailer that does not have a factory installed hatch for a generator, the umbilical cord attachment is really the bigger obstacle.
