Help, power to trailer in and out when connected to the truck.

So every time I am coupling and I connect the power line it’s always loose and electricity on trailer always in and out every move i make. I seen a little plastic part that you put in and it’ll keep it sturdy. I mean I’ve used stuff to keep it sturdy but always falls off . Does anyone know the name or a link for it? Hope y’all know what I’m talking about

 

Just use a zip tie

 

Zip tie, doubled up, put in on bottom as a shim.

 

tarp strap holding it up, down or sideways. Or if you wanna get really crazy..replace the pigtail

 

I’ve used the zip every time. But I saw someone was actually selling an accessory for that. Figured I’d see if anyone bought it . It’s pretty cool you attach it to the male part and everyone you connect it just push it in

 

It's a $5 fix for a 5 cent problem. If you're going to buy something, buy a new cord.

 

Heck, don't have to buy the whole cord, they sell just the ends and the inside has each connection marked for each color wire.

The socket on the trailer is what really needs to be replaced. TA in Brooklyn, IA had a bunch in stock when I needed just the housing.

Those sockets get all distorted from spinning the trailer around.

 

This is actually a pretty good idea. For.you guys that swap trailers a lot I would definitely keep one on hand
