    I have a power cord reel at the back of my 46’ toy hauler and a standard twist lock 50 amp receptacle at the front of my 46’ toy hauler.  I use an adapter to go from the twist lock to standard NEMA receptacle and then have an 18’ 6 AWG 50 amp extension cord.  The two plug ins run to an ATS in the trailer so only one can send power to the trailer at a time.  This set up works well for me.  I can use the front or rear plugs or add length to the rear cord real with the extension cord.  It provides lots of options.  So far this year, I have probably had to use the front plug about a 1/4 of the time at the places we have stayed since I got the trailer in June.  I am happy to have the options for convenience sake.  I currently am mooch docking on a family property and have a standard 12 AWG extension cord run to the front of the trailer from the garage on the property.  I then have 15 to 30 and 30 to 50 dog bones connected to get a bit of power to the trailer at the front receptacle.  As I said, it is nice to have options. 

    If I get an ATS which would you recommend. Goggled it and lots of them.

    Yes, this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FQMZS8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    I like it because I could wall mount it in a small space and not have a large wall projection of a switch.

    Mainly to cut power to the lithium batteries so that they're not being constantly charged while idle.

     

    That is a battery disconnect. Not what I was looking for. I used Blue Sea for my battery disconnect.

  3. I tow with my HDT. It is roughly 30'. So I need to get Teton as far back as possible so truck can stay in front. I have on several cases had to park truck elsewhere or go buy an extension for my service. Don't really care for extensions. The midway location should work most places
