Enclosed Trailers with 120V lighting - Electric codes that should be followed

I have been looking into the purchase of a new snow trailer. I would like a 120v electrical service for lights and receptacles. I have contacted a few trailer manufactures to see if they follow any standards codes for this install. From my research the manufactures don't seem aware that there are any codes nor do they follow any. They need to be aware that there is the National Electric Code. Electricity should be taken very seriously. This is 120 volts not 12 volts DC.

its just 120.
it is funny we tore apart a new trailer last yr to redo .
the 120 was deff sketchy at best 2 holes in frame had no grommets where wire passed through.
U will deff be better off buying un finished and just doing it your self.

I did both my trailers with 120v. I ran the wiring though 1/2" pvc pipe. I had a breaker box, one switch controlling the outlets and another switch for the lights.

That is a very nice setup you have there, it is exactly what I am looking to do on my next trailer. Would you mind showing how you did the hookup for the external power source? Just curious to see what you did to get power to the trailer.

I ran one of these on the outside. You can get them from a marine/boat supply store/company
