Calling all electrical gurus

Mount a terminal strip with four terminals on it near the front of the trailer. Run your trailer wiring to one side of the terminal strip and put tab terminals on the other side of the strip. Then make a pigtail harness with your plug on one end and slip on sockets on the other end. It connects and disconnects very quickly and has the added advantage of separating without damage if you forget to unhook the wiring when you park the trailer or someone trips over the wires. Make a spare pigtail to keep in the truck and you'll be right back in business if you do forget to take it off and someone steals it. If you've ever had he plug come out and drag on the ground, you'll love how easy it is to replace. Having the terminal block there also makes trailer light trouble shooting a lot easier.

This is a must also. I use it on every connector I have. The VHF radio, and the GPS unit too. I buy the large tube.
