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.
Many thanks CA Travler
I appreciate your answers to my questions.
I agree with you 100 percent on not working in an enclosure with the truck running, but in this case the trailer is in one building and the truck is in the next one, and there is wide open spaces on both of them. Visualize two car ports side by side
