Towing Receptacle April 19, 2023, 04:33:52 pm The last time towing, I noticed the plastic cover for the six-pin receptacle had broken. If I recall correctly, the cover also helps to hold the plug in place. Where can a new one be purchased?
Re: Towing Receptacle Reply #1 – April 19, 2023, 05:00:18 pm Plastic cover broken? All of the ones I've used were metal, have not seen any other. Perhaps a change-out is needed? Trailer Supply, et al. Yes, under the cover there is (or should be) a protrusion that keeps the plug seated in place.

Yeah, the folks that installed my towing setup used plastic. I guess it was only a matter of time before it broke. Thanks, Steve! 1 Likes

Re: Towing Receptacle Reply #6 – April 19, 2023, 06:47:28 pm Thanks for the links, Larry! I'm not sure why folks would choose plastic over metal.
Re: Towing Receptacle Reply #7 – April 19, 2023, 07:53:30 pm Greg, the one I’m sending to you looks just like the plastic one Larry mentioned except it has a Blue Ox logo on it. It’s just like the one I installed on our LD and it has worked just fine for the last 5 years. Btw, shipping costs should be minimal and it’s on us.
