Does anyone know if it is ok to go from the poll to an extension cord, to the lock box which will be under my trailer, to the trailer cord?
I can then secure the lockbox to the trailer.
Sure, and running it next to the camper makes sense but putting it in a lock box that itself is locked to the trailer is way overkill. I run a hard wire EMS-HW30C but if I were using a portacle EMS-PT30C I'd hang this Camco 30A > 30A Adapter off the side of the trailer, plug the EMS into it, and run an extension out to the campsite power post ... hard to imagine anyone would bother sneaking up to the camper just to run off with my EMS. In your case, because your main service cable is hard wired to the trailer, I'd cut that cable back so it's just long enough to reach the underside of the slide, hang the EMS from the underside of the slide to keep it off the ground and protected from the elements, and run an extension from there out to the campsite power post. Easy. :B
