So your issue is OK now?

I bought one of these from Tweety's recently. I have not camped with it installed, but it has a place to hang the 7-way plug (with a cover over the pin side) and hooks to hang your chains on. It clamps with screws around your tongue jack. It's a Stromberg Carlson Jet-30 "Hitching Post". Keeps the plug and chains out of the mud and rain out of the plug.

On-season or off-season, I generally drape my plug over the brace that holds the two propane tanks together and then put the tank cover back over the tanks. Easy-peasy and it keeps the plug out of the elements.

That little accessory looks kinda neat.
For years I've just hung the cord over the frame and had no problems.
But for the price, it's a nice addition.
Thanks,
John

You can also keep your 7-pin terminals clean with one of these.

This. Did it just that way for over ten years with our TT and never had a problem. Also, tmlogo, thanks for letting us know what was going on!

What are you saying that the dampest cause the lights to come on. So next take a hair dryer to the plug.
