Trailer Wiring Socket and Connector for Powering Fridge in Truck Bed

Question

Question:

I want to add a 12 volt receptacle into the bed of my truck so I can run a small travel fridge in the bed while I am driving. What do I need to buy and do you have a video for it?

You will want to use the socket part # PK12801 to provide you with a 2 pole connector and then the part # PK12800 which would run to the fridge. The socket will easily mount in your truck bed once you cut a hole in it.

On the socket side you would need to run one wire to the vehicle battery and the other to the negative side.
