Can I use an extension cord to connect between my truck connector and my trailer cable connector ?
Yes
If yes do I have to worry about a voltage drop if the distance is too long. Yes Use a 10ga cord, 25' should be long enough but measure first. There will be some additional voltage drop.
Even if you don't want to hear this: I would never work inside an enclosed area with a engine running due to carbon monoxide among other things. If power is not available my choice would be a portable 120V gen outside.
