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.

Great, thank you
Moderately easy to do.
fixed all my issues
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!
This Smart plug inlet plug is true to size. I've used the Smart Plug system on other RVs and am familiar with the better contact area. I was delighted to see that this plug fit inside the connection center of my campervan, and still be able to close cover with no bulging.
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.
Ordered this to replace our current plug on our ‘08 airstream 28’international ccd. I apparently didn’t understand that the kit didn’t come with the male plug as well-the pic kind of confused me. I reached out to smart plug and went above and beyond to help me get what I needed to get it going. Can’t say enough about smart plug-excellent customer service!!
Product arrived in a timely manner, printed instructions were reasonably good & informative. Communications with etrailer were outstanding!
This plug is so much better than the OEM twist lock plug! It wasn't difficult to install and appears to be a quality item.
Easy to install and so much better of a system to hook up power, plug and go. Highly recommend the Smart Plug for safety and ease of use, plus looks good too.
This was the best upgrade! We had issues with our last plug pulling down, which eventually cracked the plastic on the box. After this install we have never had an issue and it’s a more secure and snug fit. After a year, it’s held up to our full-time travels very well. I’d highly recommend.
Here’s the video we did on this product: GAME CHANGER! RV SMART PLUG INSTALL.
This product completely fixed all our RV's electrical issue caused by a loose connection from the traditional power cord.
After a year I really like this SmartPlug system. Was easy to install. And it works great.
This is a great upgrade. Our 50amp cord and inlet was arcing and was very dangerous. This product arrived on time, instructions were great and this is a complete game changer. It's a better connection no issues and easy installation. Took me about 30 minutes tops.
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!
