I did some work on the V I finally installed a weather proof plug permanently, I am tried of tripping over the open hatch which also allows debris and critters in during the night.
I have an on board auto 10/10 AMP charger installed below the hatch cover. I keep my batteries charged during the cool nights here in Fl, Auto off during the day, Timer switch on the house wall.

I found this beautiful part on Amazon, well built and no wire splicing to install. 13.95 free shipping with prime

Just bought the same receptacle. Great design. Also bought a NOCO onboard charger.

Correct superior to the one for 25 bucks at WM, which requires you to cut the plug off and insert the wires directly which reviews on the site say they pop out ...
