Easy to install!: check, measure and inspect

Short term plug with heat gun makes installation very easy. I heated the sleeve on the peg for less than 30 seconds (heating around the peg to soften the entire cuff) and then just slid the Camco retaining ring onto the cuff with no issues.

Pros
  • Easy to replace: Beveled surface of threaded retaining ring makes it easy to replace existing power cord locking tab
Cons
  • Not sure

This softens the raised outer rubber tab so that the ring can be slid on without having to heat the PowerGrip ring. When the rubber on the stopper cools, it becomes as stiff as…

Save money by simply replacing a broken ring

Here's how I installed it without breaking it: I soaked the ring in hot water first to make it softer and less brittle. During the soak, I smeared the flange on the connector housing that was…

Pros
  • Rugged construction: Black polycarbonate
Cons
  • No automatic
