New M-22 owners here. Just returned from our shakedown cruise. 3 times on our trip back home, the 7 pin electrical connection from the trailer to the tow vehicle recepticle would dislodge during 90° turn engagements. Even if I tried to reduce the relative strain on the connection by swinging extra wide in the turns, the plug would dislogde just enough to disconnect from the recepticle, but not enough for it to be dragging below the trailer proper. The only way I knew for sure was that the running lights were dark and the prompt LED from the trailer brake module would also be dark. Question: What is the optimum length of the 7 pin connector line once it leaves the junction box that is attached to the trailer frame? The length of the line we have is approximately 36". I have noted in some catalogues and on line camping supply sites that there are extension lines available in varying lengths (7 pin to 7 pin, obviously). Would one of these extension links rectify my concern? If so, should the extension be permanently bolted (cable tied?) to the trailer frame in concert with the 'primary' 7 pin line?
Tow vehicle: 2003 Chevy Trailblazer, LT trimline. As you face the rear of the vehicle, the 7 pin recepticle is to the left center under the bumper proper.
We had a GREAT time on our shakedown cruise. Ready to go out again as soon as I take some corrective measures on this electrical connection concern. Anyone have any ideas and / or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
