Stowing the 7-way connector and breakaway cable

I used to just shove my connectors behind the propane bottles when disconnected. After a tow truck ride shaved the 7-way connector in half after my truck died, and another time waking up to a half submerged connector, I came up with this easy cheap solution. Self tapping screw to anchor a clip. Now I just snap the cables in after installing the 7-way cover, under the trailer, sealed and outa the way.

I like that idea. I need to get me one of those 7 pin connector covers too. Thanks for sharing.

Yup!! Pin box is where mine sits when not in use. I try to make it look like a big wad, keeps birds from nesting.
