Request: Hitch-Area V2L AC Outlet (or Underbody Pass-Through) for Travel Trailers

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

As someone planning to tow a 3,000 lb off-road trailer behind the Scout Traveler Harvester, I’d like to request an essential feature for the towing and overlanding community: a weather-sealed 120V AC outlet positioned directly at the rear receiver hitch assembly.

Currently, powering a trailer's onboard battery system or Victron charger via the driver-side rear quarter panel V2L port requires running an AC cable down the exterior body panel while driving. This creates drag, cable slack, and potential paint damage on trails.

Placing a rugged IP67-rated 120V AC outlet alongside the standard 7-pin trailer connector (or providing an underbody floor pass-through grommet from the cargo area outlet) would allow clean, hidden routing straight to the trailer tongue. This small addition would make the Scout Traveler the ultimate self-sustaining tow rig for off-grid overlanders!"

Welcome to the community!

I’ve never seen what you’re asking for…. Do you have any example vehicles that have something similar?
