I plan to do the same I have a  water tight cable gland and plan to drill a hole in the roof so the cable comes in to the back to the luggage rack there is room there to accommodate it  then have a panel mount plug to put in the real wall of the luggage rack 

I have also made a matching hole in line with the utilities , boxes   this is just  behind the drivers door using the same electrical utility box like  the other one and putting a panel mount plug in it  so when camping  in the shade I can use a 20 ft cord to put the solar panel in the sun
