30 amp Electrical connection

Today the weather still was not cooperating for outside tasks.  With that said I decided to cut in the shore power inlet and the water panel.  A 30 amp weather proof  plug was purchased from a Marine outlet.  Along with a 50 foot cord prewired with weatherproof ends.  To insure that the hole needed for the power inlet was in the correct place, I marked it from the inside on the wall of the trailer.  The water panel was marked the same way.  The water panel is lockable so noone can tamper with our water supply, and it had provisions for a city water hookup and a fill nozzle for the tank side.  The onboard water tank will follow but is only 20 gallons, which should be enough for 2 showers and some dishes.
The electrical plug is going to be hardwired with 10 gauge wire to a 45amp charger/converter, which I will outline when I get to that point.
