Power Cord Options for 30 Amp Twist Lock Connector on Travel Trailer

Question

Question:

Me: 2022 Rockwood mini lite 2205s has a ?Conntek 30A locking L5-30 power inlet Photos 1, 2, 3. Came with cord photos 4, 5 that does not turn and lock like it should, too long/more out than in photo 6, and locking ring is slighty too small and ring threads dont match inlet - cant screw it in so photo 7. Result: Cant secure cord in place, hangs at an angle and leaves everything exposed to weather. Will Mighty Cord RV Power Cord - 30 Amps - 25foot Long Item # A10-3025EDBK fit/work? Which power extension cord can be used if I need more length? Cost is not my issue. Needing a solid connection is my issue. I really dont want to replace the inlet. However, your expert advice is my game plan. Thank you for your help.

Yes, the Mighty Cord RV Power Cord - 30 Amps - 25' Long # A10-3025EDBK will work great for your application. It doesn't have the fancy fault lights that your current wiring does so you might consider using something like the Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer # CAM55310 as well which helps check for faults.

You can use an extension like the Mighty Cord # A10-3025EH but I wouldn't go above this additional 25' of cord. If you anticipate needing more than that 25' of that initial connector then it might be a good choice to just get a longer cord and use that. If you were to go this route I recommend using the Power Adapter # A10-3030D90VP directly to your trailer and then the 50' Extension # A10-3050EH to go to the pedestal.

Hello Paul, thanks for reaching out. The Mighty Cord RV Power Cord #A10-5025EDBK is a 50 amp cord, so as long as your camper is also set up for 50 amp service this would be compatible for you.

Hi Monty, The mounting holes for the round cable hatch #A10-2130VP will not be covered by the SmartPlug RV Power Inlet and Connector - 30 Amp #SM27FR. I've added a photo below of the mounting dimensions of the #SM27FR and as you can see they are…

Hi Jeff, The Thetford Titan Tote Portable Waste Tank #TH84XE does use a strap to loop around the hitch ball to tow it to the dump site at your campground. There isn't specific testing done to see how well these straps hold up to extreme heat but…

Yes the SmartPlug RV Power Cord #SM86FR that you referenced will stay flexible when the weather is cold. This would not get difficult to wrap up if the temperature was to drop.

I definitely agree with you there Dave, it would be a very nice option to have, but a 90 degree cord is not something made for the 50 amp SmartPlug RV Power Inlet and Connector #SM76FR. I will say the way the plug connects does make it a better, more…

Hello Rocky, thanks for reaching out. If your new leaf springs do not have as much of an arch as the old springs they are definitely not going to help your situation if your tires are already rubbing on the fenders. What we would usually do here is…

Answer 7

Hey James, you can go with a 4k axle leaf spring like the part #e22YR in place of what you have now while it has a slightly higher weight capacity it's not enough that it would create a harsh ride quality. This is a 26 inch long spring though so…
