You can see how this looks in this floorplan drawing of my off-road popup shown in BLUE. No more holes in the bottom anymore. I also have a way to fish cables from point A to point B as well from the top.
This will hard to do on your trailer as it probably has an under belly membrane installed.
When I start on my next battery upgrade I will replace the pull out cord for a screw on shore power connection cord. This will fit into my alternate ways of providing power for my OFF-ROAD POPUP. The power connection of the right side of this photo comes from my 1500WATT PSW on-board Inverter.
