I did a plug conversion on my TT and wanted to share the video to maybe help others.I ordered it from Furrion direct and it was $80 shipped.If you are doing this and have any questions I would be happy to help.It was windy, so may have bad audio.Furrion Video

I haven't looked at your video so I won't comment on your mod but since you mentioned Furrion I have a little story. Last summer we happened to be passing near a Camping World so I dropped in hoping to buy a Marinco 30 amp twist lock female connector, the same one that is supplied with their Park Power Conversion Kit which I've been using for years on several trailers we've owned. All they had in stock was the Furrion 30 amp Retrofit Connector so I bought it anyway, thinking it was about the same as the Marinco. Typically, it was a sealed package so I couldn't really get a good look at it until I got it home and removed it from the packaging, only to realize it just wasn't quite as heavy duty as the Marinco. I built my cable with it anyway but then realized the Furrion locking ring is finely threaded so it not only takes many, many turns to lock it in place but it can also easily cross thread - the Marinco has no threads, just tabs, so securing it in place takes a mere twist of the hand and it's done. The Furrion is now sitting in my workshop looking for another home. :(

That is sad to hear. Sorry for the luck

I just hate the twist-lock plugs, the dragging out of the entire roll of wire, the stupid locking ring and wasted space. I just put in a larger locking hatch to take care of any knotting issues.

Time to replace the twist plugs with this:http://www.smartplug.com/Cost is higher but it is safer and easier to use.

That is a great idea as well, I have had zero issues as of yet. Keep it plugged in at all times.

Our KZ TT came with a Conntek cord and fittings. The threaded collar is awful and hard to thread on. Never use it and it's a spare stored inside. We use a Marinco (Park Power) 30 amp cord we already had which has a 1/4-turn locking ring and it fits the Conntek inlet fitting. The 1/4-turn ring locks quickly and easily into place. (It's actually a bit less than 1/4 turn). You can buy just the Park Power locking rings but can't remember if it slips over the plug end of the cord.

Another solution would be to get a Park Power right angle adapter pigtail with the 1/4-turn ring.

I use the Furrion and have been very happy, they were the only ones with a black receptacle to match my trailer at the time.

I would prefer a 90° connector on the RV side.
