A.C. PLUG ?
Wanted to add one aditional A.C. plug to the interior of my HTT runnin off an existing plug. I was stopped in my tracks, and a bit baffled, as to how to get into the factory plug. Seems to be sealed...

Two reasons a splice must be in a J-box. Safety and it is law (electrical code).
The J-box protects the connections from bumping, pulling, or other things that will cause the connections to come open and leave an exposed live wire to electrocute your children or someone else.
Also by electrical code, all J-boxes must be accessible. You cannot bury one behind a fixed panel.
