12 V Bed Power

I want to mount a rechargeable flashlight in the bed next to the tailgate (bed is covered). What is the best place to pull power to this area? Should I pick it up at the trailer wiring connector or is there somwhere else convenient. It will only be used for the flashlight charging.

The trailer plug would be the easiest place for switched power. I mounted a Marinco receptacle in the bed and ran the wire to the battery through the passenger frame rail.
