You can buy the male connector end at just about any RV shop. Everything is color coated to wire right into the connector. No need to splice. I think it would give you a much cleaner looking job.

Thanks,
Mike

From someone who completely severed her trailer cord not once but twice, just go ahead and have it replaced. A friend spliced mine and then used Shrinkwrap on it the first time, but I was always afraid I would be off somewhere and have a problem at the least convenient time. Sure enough, I had to have it replaced after a couple of months. After that I kept the cord fastened up and out of the way of the hitching mechanism with those heavy plastic ties, however they get brittle and break after a while......That's how I ended up cutting it the second time. I now make checking the cord position part of my hitching routine.

Thanks for all those that replied. Problem solved, brothern-in-law (electrician) cut the cable and moved the connector back and found a short in the TV side, fixed it as well.

As payment we are taking his three daughters camping.
