I bought a NATO connector from http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/. Search for PN MS75021-2. They are $26.00 plus shipping. here is a link to what I made. It worked great and the lights were plenty bright enough.

It's staying green for now. My towing vehicle is still in restore mode, 1974 GMC 1500C stepside pickup. I had a friend pick the trailer up for me. I'm open to options on the tires. I will probably change them out, especially if I can sell the beadlocks for a comparable price.
Actually I'm one of those "**** Yankees" from NH displaced here by the Air Force. I retired in 1995, found a job, hence "****ed", and stayed. The weather was really nice that day, too warm for heat so I kicked on the a/c. We don't usually kick on the a/c till the end of March.:-P
I was out of town half of December and finally got the cable in to connect to the house. I hooked into the house through a 30A 240 circuit. The test went well. In fact better than I could hope. Started by turning on all the 110v circuits one at a time. She just ate it up. I monitored the voltage...

I understand what you say about %power vs ammeter and I understand the difference. The TMs confuse things by the using the terms interchangeably. In the parts list where they show the NSN and part no. they call it an ammeter.
The 002A uses a current transformer (CT) to drive the %power meter...
So, if I plug the kill-a-watt in the aux outlet should the load I put through it match the load on the ammeter? I checked out the CT and it passed the ohms test. Also, if I check the load by measuring across the %Load meter connectors with an ammeter that should match some value I saw somewhere...
I found a thread (http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?77562-Load-on-convenience-outlets/page2) I had not seen before which I think explains why the Ammeter pegged when I plugged in the hair dryer. The aux outlet has a reduced capacity. Well I'll have to do some more load testing from the...
