Power cords are rated for a maximum = number of amps (marked on the packaging at the hardware store)....
 
The fridge draws about 8 amps... the cabin light = probably 2 amps... add the amps of what ever else you want to run (the stock radio connection is off the starter battery unless you change it)... total and = then go look for your power cord.
