Boilermaker Chemist Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 If you are looking for a simple way to keep your 7-pin plug out of the dirt, I found this Plug Keeper on the RVUpgradeStore.com for only $3.99. Since I have a particular aversion to drilling holes in our Oliver, I wanted to attach it to the trailer tongue with VHB tape. However, the back of the plug keeper is hollow. So I made a backing plate from a piece of 1/8” black acrylic sheet to increase the surface area for better adhesion. Two 3/16” aluminum trifold rivets worked well to attach the acrylic to the plug keeper. 6 Mike 2021 Tundra DC SR5, Improved Racing MHX-514 transmission cooler 2023 LE II - Hull #1420 - "Hank the Tank", Truma A/C, Furnace and WH package, AGM/solar
Rivernerd Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 Another option that is also protected from rain: stuff the 7-pin up between the fiberglass housing and the aluminum a-frame.

Regardless of the type holder, it is good practice to use dielectric grease to further protect the plug contacts from moisture and dust intrusion. 2 Ron and Brooxie | Clear Lake (Houston), Texas 2020 OLEll, Twin, 579: No installed solar, dual 30# propane tanks w/GasStop safety devices, Renogy 40A DC-DC charger, 460Ah LFP battery bank/Victron SmartShunt, auxiliary Cerbo-S GX/Victron 30A Blue Smart IP22 Charger combo, interior mounted Hughes Autoformer, twin independent sliding Lagun mount tables, extended dinette table and pantry landing, tongue-mounted hoist, Beech Lane refrigerator Ventilation/Evaporate Coil fans, metal valve stems with TST cap sensors and signal repeater, Waste Master sewer hose management system, Dreiha Atmos 4.4 A/C upgrade. 2019 GMC Savana 2500 Cargo Work Van: Explorer Limited SE, Low-Top 7 Passenger van conversion, 6.0L V8 Vortec, 6-Speed Automatic, RWD; Air-Lift LoadLifter air suspension/WirelessAir compressor; Bilstein B6 4600 Series shocks; metal valve stems for TST tire pressure monitoring system; Buyers Products cargo containment boxes/DC Cargo securement system; rear bumper DC-DC Anderson power cable outlet; 100Ah 12V portable power station/Dometic CFX 75L Dual Zone Refrigerator and Freezer; front 2” receiver hitch/QuikrStuff Mach2 double bike rack; Mechman 320A high output alternator.
