Adak, I got that part covered. It's the connection at the house that I need to add. My trailer requires 30 amp 120 volt power. Only. My house doesn't have this outlet, which is why I need to add one. Running an extension cord from the house to the trailer is the easy part. My biggest hazard is not the mower but the DOGS! They chew through ANYTHING! Just ask my air conditioning repair guy! They ate through the lines to the condenser. I will be hanging the cord up high so they can't get at it.

Length of the wire from the circuit box to the outlet is about 16 feet. I'm also not sure if I need to add a sub-panel for this. I do believe I should just hire a local electrician and save myself all the bother.
