Hello All,

I've tried searching and wasn't successful. I'm getting a 2025 21MML in a few weeks. I was hoping to find a trailer with a 12volt cigarette style outlet in the exterior storage compartment to run a drinks fridge we have from our teardrop, apart from models designed with integrated outdoor kitchens, this didnt seem to be a thing, and none of those ticked our other options.

looking in the exterior storage compartment on the driver side, i can see a collection of 12v power cables, from memory there was 2 live, 2 negative and 2 earth, but i could be wrong. not sure if anyone has a wiring diagram or knows where these go, as I would consider splicing into the line with t splice like this, not sure if anyone has done anything like that. these cables are near the inverter pre-wire.

my other option would be to just run a cable we currently have, which connects to the battery terminal and terminates in a cigarette style 12v connection, but, while the cables are thin, i dont want to impact the weather sealant strips around the exterior compartment.

Any thoughts or previous experience i could draw from,
 
Just guessing, but all those 12v lines are probably for your outside cap lights and your running lights.
 
From that listing you linked to; "USE THE CORRECT WIRE - Fits well for 20, 22 and 24 AWG"

The 20 -24 AWG amp capacity for continue use use is 3.5 amps. What gauge (AWG) wire is already there? Using the wrong connector size or wire size can cause a fire.
