12 volt supply addition

I recently bought a FloJet macerator pump for emptying the black tank. It comes with a cord that can be hooked to the battery for use, but will require an extension to reach the battery in the front of the trailer. Does anyone know a simple way to get a 12 volt 20 amp supply to the valve area of a 3400 so that I could just connect it there for use?

I made a cheap cord with clamps that I connect from a fuse and switch near the macerator pump and then connect the other end to the batteries. I don't know which macerator pump you have, but I bought a macerator pump and mounted it on a piece of plywood to which I also mounted a switch and automotive 15-amp fuse. Total cost was less than $5.00.

I ran a red and black #10 wire from a new 20 amp circuit breaker off the battery.
I ran it to a sealed electrical box that I mounted on the frame by the side.
I installed a reciptical and plug that has a ground and an odd plug configuration.
I put the plug on the pump wiring and it works great.
A normal plug can not be put in and I can't use it for anything but 12 volt.
