![25](https://horsetrailerworld.com/forum/images/decorations/multiple/25.gif) Location: Iowa | Where do I get the 30 amp wishbone outlet that you put on the outside of your trailer to plug your cord into??? everywhere I am calling they are not understanding what I need. it is the male part, you open the flip door and plug the female part of your cord into it, then the male part of your cord goes into the pole at the campground.... am I explaining this right? |

It has a 15amp male plug on one end and a 30 amp female plug on the other end. A 15 amp plug is what the plugs look like in your house. A 30 amp plug is what a campground has and most LQ's will have. Horse camps have not caught up to the LQ's yet and a dogbone is needed to hook a trailer up to a 15 amp house outlet. |

![25](https://horsetrailerworld.com/forum/images/decorations/multiple/25.gif) Location: Iowa | Got this one figured out!!! Now don't think you are getting rid of me, though... have lots of other questions. Like I said on my screen door post... I'm pretty much on my own for the whole deal. My husband doesn't want any part of it. I found a friend to do all the wiring (she is an electrician) all for me paying for the materials and a case of beer. My sister and I did all of the insulation. I have purchased all of the plank paneling. I think (THINK) my brother-in-law is going to build the cabinets for me, but he doesn't want to come look at the trailer and has no idea what it looks like, so that scares me! I guess the next thing I need to do is the paneling, then I'm sure I will have more questions to ask for all of you! THANKS much!!!!!! Danielle |

You'll have to buy a matching plug. But the advantages are: A 30 amp two conductor Plus ground connector is more common than a 30 amp RV style connector. The twist-lock connectors won't pull out accidently. |

But you should be able to find the proper connectors there, plus a short length of 10 gauge "SJ" cord. Someone handy with a screw driver and a wire stripper could make it up in 1/2 hour |
