SmartPlug vs. Twist Lock
RV and boat owners have long relied on Twist Lock style connections for powering their rides. For years, it has been the best option for connecting to shore power. It's been reliable, but most know it's not without disadvantages:
SmartPlug's connector addresses each of these concerns and does all of the heavy lifting.
Locking arms grab the inlet, a clamp inside the plug body holds the cord, the inlet cap snaps to the top while in use, and the integrated seals weatherproof the connection. This helps prevent the wiggly, dirty connections that increase electrical resistance, which creates potentially dangerous heat.
Since it uses a square plug face, SmartPlug is able to use flat pins which create far more surface contact, further reducing the risk of high heat and electrical arcing. The square shape and flat pins also make it easy to plug in - no more twisting or guessing if the pins are lined up correctly.

Easily replace your inlet and rewire your power cord for a SmartPlug connection that is both safer and easier to use. This package contains everything you need to upgrade your ride for a new generation of shore power connection.I found the installation of the inlet easy and the modification of the connector very easy. The instructions were very easy to follow and very comprehensive.
The only issue was the rear cover (pictured) for the inlet could not fit at the front location of may 2019 Airstream Flying Cloud 27 ft. FB. I also installed the cable port.
The SmartPlug installed great and after a year of heavy use continues to perform perfectly! Electrical hookups are now quick and positive with solid connections!
I received at least two emails updating me on the shipping dates and another one when it shipped. The Smartplug was on back order and they kept me up to date.
I had been looking at this plug for awhile before I bought it. I was living full time in my camper. And my old twist style plug kept blowing the breaker on the power box. Bought this to replace it. No problems at all cents then. Love it. Easy to in stall.
This is a very well-built and designed product. I love the fact that it snaps securely to the inlet, and that the inlet closes securely when not in use. I got this to replace the mouse door that typically comes on campers (a huge hole port with a door that leaves a large gap while the cord is in use!). Keeping mice out is worth the price already, and this is a much better quality connector than I usually see on campers these days that use the detachable twist-lock type cords. Still working great after a year of use.
Easy to change cord plug. Outlet was a bit challenging as I couldn’t get wires pulled out far enough, so had service center do that part. It’s a little hard to push all the way in so side latches catch; but top latch secures.
I Just installed this today. This plug is awesome! It is part of my mouse proofing project. Mice were coming in thru the the old cable opening. That is another story. The directions on this were easy to follow and clear. I didn’t think my cord would fit in the strain reliever but with enough soap it did. The only suggestion I have is that they include 4 stainless screws to fasten it to the camper. My only regret is not doing it sooner.
Great service, shipped on time.
Expensive but very high quality. I had the type with a cover and non detachable cord. Had to make a plate from starboard to adapt the hole.
Great products @ great prices and great service!
Most competitive prices and great communication on order status and delivery dates!
Product arrived earlier than projected and fit perfectly
The old style RV plugs are prone to have connection problems which causes melting of the unit. That happened to me in below freezing weather and we lost power to our trailer. This new plug will not have that problem. It fits together solidly and I don't worry about any loose connection. I have seen that the SmartPlug is now standard equipment on Airstream trailers. That's quite an endorsement. You Cann't go wrong with the SmartPlug system.
I have on several occasions experienced times when my electricity inside our RV wasn't working. It would inevitably be because the connection from shore power to the camper was loose. I just installed my new SmartPlug today and already feel confident in the connection. Purchasing from etrailer was easy and the product shipped in a timely manner.
etrailer kept me in the loop on the backorder of the black SmartPlug, I understood the supply chain, but it was nice to be updated on the timeline for shipment. So nice for a company to keep you in the loop without having to chase the details!
No complaints. Got what I ordered, installed it and it worked. SmartPlug 30amp white.
I really like the SmartPlug! I kept noticing the old plug would turn sometimes in the socket and just about unplug itself. The SmartPlug is always secure and easy to unplug when you are ready.
