Very annoying that the only "outside" outlet is in the kitchen area, behind the fridge... Took care of that. Checked the circuit that supplied outside power, only a few things run off it (while the inside is completely overloaded). Don't try to run a toaster and a coffee maker at the same time! Anyway, attached is a picture. Attachments:

And it's even disguised as a hose connection drain so the neighbors won't plug extension cords into it! Great idea! :-)
What I would like is a 12v outlet near the tires so I could plug in a 12v air compressor. I have the compressor, but when I actually got to looking at things, I would have to move my TV really close to the side of the trailer to use it.

Interesting, your "TV" has a 12v outlet strong enough for a compressor? I removed my outside TV and gave it to my daughter. I don't watch TV outside while camping. :-) BTW: Depending on your compressor hose, you could possibly by a cheap 25' extension, and not have move the "TV" so close. I have 2 25' hoses to be able to reach. Make sure your compressor can handle the pressure and time requirements. Most 'common' compressors do not, or take forever, and have to be rested frequently. |

Work cycle is 10 minute run / 20 minute off. Easy to get things inflated in 10 minutes. |

Just plug it into the 110 outlet and then plug your 12v compressor to the 12V. |

My 2015 Ram truck came with a 110v outlet on the dash but it is only for up to 150 watts. Your best bet would be a air compressor with a 12v plug so you can use your 12v outlets from your tow vehicle. Another option is a a compressor with a 12v alligator clips to connect directly to your battery. I always carried a Ryobi battery powered air compressor with me and it had plenty of power for 4 tires or carry extra batteries.
