Anyone Install Shore power to rear bumper?

I installed a 15amp through the rear bumper.

How did you make sure the back of the unit is water proof? the black sleeve isn't water tight. Silicon added? thanks

There is a rubber boot on the back of the inlet. I have smooth round extension cord type cable running into the inlet through the boot. The fit is very snug. I believe it is going to be fine. Time will tell. I did not put any sealant on it.

Also, I drove around for a couple of months after installing the inlet in the bumper, but before getting it wired. The boot was on during this time but there was no wire installed through it. So it was open. When I went to install the wire, I expected to find it full of road debris or see that it was corroded. It looked fine.

Where did you make entry into the inside of van with wiring?
Thanks,

Just forward of the bumper, underneath the van, are some openings with rubber plugs. A couple of these lead up into the interior of the van into the side wall. Very easy to find.
