Question:

I am looking for some sort of waterproof cap to go over my trailers 7-way plug. Out in the elements and the contacts are starting to corrode. I dont need a plug or anything, yet. I cant find anything on your website. I just want a rubber or plastic cap to go over the plug to protect it from the rain and dust. Thank you.

Surprisingly enough, we don't offer a cap that would slip over the 7-way connector on your trailer and protect the contacts from the elements. A light coat of dielectric grease, part # 11755 would act to exclude moisture form the connector.

To protect the connector, I've seen folks simply use a ziplock bag and a rubber band to secure it. It's not the most elegant solution, but it's inexpensive and it works.
