Bill,
I doubt there would be much of a need to run 30 amps
when the TM was closed. What I had in mind from the original post was more of an extension cable port that could carry say 10-15 amps power to the refer and maybe to charge the battery. This would mean you could go with a smaller diameter cable which would make it lighter and easier to route.

Wade -
You are right, there is no need to run 30 amps. Ten would certainly be sufficient. But what would be the electrical connections? How would you connect (electrically, not mechanically) a smaller cable to the existing wiring? It would be extremely dangerous to have both cables connected to the wiring at the same time. There would have to be some kind of enclosed switch, to connect only one at a time. Such switches certainly exist, but they are big and expensive. I should have been clearer - this is one of the solutions I considered too elaborate or too expensive. That's why I restricted myself to thinking about access via the 30-amp cord only. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
