26.5 rls shore power cord?

Has anyone removed the cabinet or cabinet counter top which houses the water pump and power cord located in-between the swivel chairs at the rear of the trailer? It appears that the cabinet may be attached from the bottom of the trailer, but before I go to the work of removing the trailer bottom cover I thought I would ask.
I am thinking of shortening the power cable, because as it it its a Pain to get the cable pushed back into the storage housing after pulling it out. Especially when the cable gets stiff during cooler weather.
Thanks
Bill

You may need that extra length someday. Not to try and change your mind but many have done a mod to put a receptacle on the side that allows the cord to be plugged in , removed and stored when not in use somewhere else. The plug is made by Marinco and there are threads here on the mod.

I have thought of doing this on my 2012 26.5 RLS due to getting it tangled up a couple of times and having a devil of a time getting it out. Haven't done it yet, but haven't given up on the idea. Much better than shortening the cord.

Power cord length isn't a problem. Since dealing with the trailer power cord can be a pain, I carry 50' of 30 amp cable with me. So, Shortening the power cable will be the least painful to the pocketbook.
