Helpful Expert Reply:
I understand what you are looking to do: install an AC power inlet on your work trailer that would allow you to plug in a standard 110-VAC extension cord between a standard household outlet and that AC power inlet.
We do offer cable hatch products like # A10-2151VP, shown on the linked page, that would serve as the mechanical port for such a connection but we do not offer the actual AC outlet. That you can source from an electrical supply house.
You will definitely want to use a GFI-protected outlet to safeguard you and your connected devices. Usually an outlet made for use near water (as in a kitchen or bathroom) will have this safety feature.
