Need Pass-Through Deck Fitting for Electric Extension Cord

I have an enclosed car trailer with a 3/4 inch plywood floor. Anyone have a link to a pass through fitting that I could install in the floor that would allow me to run an electric extension cord up from outside and up into the trailer. I would prefer something with a cap or lid on it to keep out water or debris from coming in through the hole when the extension cord is removed or when I'm towing the trailer down the road. Assistance appreciated.

    Have you considered installing an extension cord thru the front of the trailer. Use what is called a cable clam. Only enough outside to plug into another extension cord. No need to get down under trailer to pass a cord thru and no hole in floor.

    OR 1 of these?..... (plus a household 15A duplex receptacle in the trailer).

    I always use LOWES for all of my PVC Electrical install components. The have a complete supply of PVC Electrical junction boxes, PVC Conduit, and clamps ETC... to give you a professional install.

    It's neat sometimes to just go somewhere and look at all the various components items when doing a project.
