Now I am guessing you have a 50A service so you will need a multiplus II that can feed both legs. Wiring is the same. Now if the power cord is not long enough as was in my case, remove the outside plug, and tape a new wire to the existing and pull it in to where you can get to it and continue your wiring to the multiplus II. Be very careful removing the wires from the factory plug. It can be easily broken if they over tightened them from the factory.
Hope this helps.
BTW if your worried that the multiplus might fail and you need your stock power back, you can just remove the feed and output wires from the multiplus and tie then together (keep some large wire nuts handy), if you do that remember to kill the 12v feed connection too. Unfortunately you will also loose the Battery charge function too as you must disconnect the factory converter when you install the multiplus. I disconnected mine and left it in place so I could wire it back in if ever needed. You should have an inline 12V disconnect switch on the main battery power feed to the multiplus anyway.
As to access the wiring at the distribution panel, remove the cover and the remove the screws attaching the panel to the wall. There should be enough slack to pull the panel out to access the back. My multiplus install thread might give you some ideas. There are several other documented installs here too.
Hope this helps and I am thinking correctly.
