Running a power cord illegal?????
That's what I'm asking ... do you know for a fact that running a 120 vac cable between the TV & trailer, capable of carrying 20 - 30 amps, is legal? Have you looked into it?

I'm just asking as I don't know the answer because I simply haven't thought about it before. :h
I don't believe we have any laws in the Transportation Code that forbids it.
