Here's a project I did about 2 weeks ago.

It's the same style inlet that I have on my truck camper.

Here's the other thread of mine which has the details.

I'm sharing it here since this is a popular mod for travel trailer owners.

Good job on this mod, I'm just not sure on the practicality of it though. I've never had an issue storing the power cord in a rv, is this the only reason for it?

I can't speak about the electric cord mod shown above. It has a rather sizable door opening to replace the cord. However, my trailer had the more common "mouse hole" style power cord holder. That is a pain in the rear when trying to put a cold power cord back in the trailer. Also, especially when cold, it could get in a huge tangle, and be next to impossible to get out the next time it was needed.

On my first trailer, I had to take out the mouse hole so I could stick my hand down in the storage compartment and untangle the cord.

One of the first mods I did to my current Jayco 23RB was install a Marinco detachable power cord. It works great.
