Video Transcript for Checking Out the Mighty Cord Replacement Hardwire 50 Amp Male RV Plug

How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com. And today we're taking a look at the replacement male 50-amp plug. So, if you have a 50-amp cable and it's burned out, you crushed it, you drove over it, or damaged it in some other way, this is an easy way to replace it and save a couple bucks on a whole cord. So, let's take a closer look at it and see what's special about it. The casing is made out of PVC plastic. That's gonna hold up against the elements.

Very similar to automotive plastic. You have this nice grip right here for plugging in and pulling out. And you're gonna have a pretty nice cable retention clamp built into the bottom that's gonna keep it from pulling out the bottom. Install on something like this is pretty straightforward. It's color-coded on the inside.

Only thing you're gonna need is a box cutter, wire stripper, and a Phillips head screwdriver, and I'll show you how to get this thing done. So, we're gonna start our installation by taking our wire, and this is 50-amp four wire. And we're just gonna carefully peel back the outer shielding. Just wanna make sure you're being safe with your box cutter, cutting away from yourself. And I'll just try to go all the way around.

All right, now we can get that outer shielding in. I just wanna make sure you check your wires to see if you got any nicks. If you do, you definitely wanna address that. And now, I'm just gonna separate my four leads on the inside. Now, we're gonna remove our five screws using our Phillips head screwdriver.

They are kind of long, but you know It'll be fine. Just be patient. Now that we have our rear removed, we can go right ahead and start making our connections to our wires. So, you can see right here, you're gonna have a little plate on the inside and that's where you're gonna sandwich your wire. And you're just gonna create a gap using your screwdriver. And then, you can press down on your wire. And you can see on the inside that each one of your colors are labeled. And we're gonna start with our black wire. I'm just gonna work this guy underneath and then fasten it down. Nice and secure. So, we're gonna do that three more times and get everything in place. I noticed I didn't put my anti-snag collar on, so I'm gonna go around that by removing the bracket for it. We're just gonna slide it around our leads and then drop it back in. (screwdriver clanging) (screw clinking) (plug clanging) And now, we're gonna work this guy through. We're just gonna reinsert all of our plugins and then we're gonna resecure our anti-snag to make sure our wire doesn't get pulled out when we're going out and about. And now, we're gonna resecure our screws to complete our installation. Now, one other thing that I would do if this wasn't just a demonstration, because I'm gonna cut this wire a bunch more times today. I would actually wrap an electrical tape around the end of these exposed wires just to give it an extra measure of protection. But in general, this is super easy installation and a quick way to save a couple bucks. So again, this is it with etrailer.com taking a look at the replacement male 50-amp plug from Mighty Cord. Have a great day.
