Added umbilical cord caps, made hangers so cords hang vertically



Recently had issue with corrosion again on auxiliary umbilical cord.
(2nd umbilical cord- back up camera, refer control & aux. charge line, AC cord to run refer on trucks inverter)
Though usually bungied up under camper they are exposed to the air can and do corrode. After cleaning
I looked at how to avoid this I stumbled on cord caps, I was unaware these could be had.


Issue though if cord is simply hung caps can fill with water and corrosion will be worse so cords need to
hang vertically with cap up.

I simply bent up some scrap 2" aluminum flat bar, Drilled hole cut slot to capture cords.



Drilled for mounting and bent the tips up a bit.


As umbilcal cords are stiff had to mount hangers at angle. Bedded in caulk and screwed to wall.


Caps should minimize future corrosion, hung against camper wall so wont need to stop when
loading/unloading to reposition cords, easy retrieval to plug in once camper loaded.

Likely other brands-just what I used

Very nice . What made you decide to keep the umbilical cables as attached cables vs adding plugs on the camper, allow for the cable to be completely removed and stored when not in use?
