Hey, Bill!
I'm going to attach some pictures for part # 20142 below to help explain how the adapter stays in place.
There is a tab at the top of the adapter where the lid of the 7-way on your vehicle will go over thus keeping it place. You can find a similar tab on your trailers 7-way. For example, the Bargman 7-Way Blade Trailer Wiring Harness part # BA68HR has a tab.
This tab helps keep any plug or adapter in place so when you hit a bump or drive on some rough roads, it will prevent the plug from coming out.

Hey Bill, how did the adapter hold up once you connected it to your vehicle’s 7-way plug? Did the tab keep everything secure even with some vibration on the road? Your feedback could help others looking for a steady connection setup.
