Not the most exciting post but just thought I would throw this out there for people to do as It works a treat!
I was sick of bending the plug back to shape and spending time scrapping out mud from the socket after the trips.
Simple job....Take the plug off (remember to disconnect power to the plug too). Drill a hole in the rear step, relocate the wires and screw it on the rear step plate....Job done...Out of the way from bumps and mud.
Seeing as I did it about 8 months ago, it's officially my idea!! lmao
Good tip mate ...
Arr mate, you can take this one..lol...I'm surprised that plug stayed there as long as it did. I spent about an hour at Loveday scrapping all the crap out as well before hooking the camper up!!!

I'm amazed heaps of them aren't ripped off more often ...
Mine has a round 7 pin end, the "flat" cable is designed to get shut in a boot/door rubber without damage, i have mine connected and sitting behind the inside flap you remove to change tail light bulbs, if you need to tow, you just pull it out and connect to trailer, then shut the back door on it as normal.

Our Trol had one like that when we bought it
Since then I added a flat one and piggybacked it off the round one, then screwed it onto the bottom of the step.
A word of warning to anyone drilling through the step like Andy did. Make sure there's not a mounting bracket behind where you drill the hole. Whoever did ours hardly left enough room to get the wires past the bracket, and if you get it wrong you'll end up with an ugly hole that the socket can't cover.

Yep I forgot to mention that. I did check out what was going on behind the step. If you drill directly on the corner bend of the step then it misses the bracket and bar, etc and is an easy direction for the cable to run through as well.
