Thanks "bmussatti" and everyone for all the input. I decided to use "bmussatti's" suggestion. I checked it out with some lamp cord first. Seems to work fine.

Thanks, Bruce

That looks like a good deal for $15.
Thanks for the pictures of the cord through the door jam.

I paid around $98 for the Porsche charger from my Porsche Stealer. My smart charger for my Harley was around $24. Same technology. I just figured I paid more for the Porsche name and the cigarette adapter..... LOL
