Cord rubbing on tailgate
Aside from mounting a receptacle in the box of the truck, how can you keep the cord from rubbing on the tailgate of the truck?

Really - tailgate rub? I'm very new to RV'ing, but that would never have occured to me. What also didn't occur to me: Picked up the first ever RV (Jayco 5th, 26.5RLS) yesterday. After the first hitch, the dealer pulled the cord out from inside the pin box, drapped it over the tailgate, and plugged it in to my outlet under the bumper.
Pronounced me good to go. Down the road, on the highway, and 20 miles later stopped for some parking lot practice. Then on to home. Getting ready to unhitch, and there was the cord dragging on the ground. Who knew it was that long? Insulation gone, two wires half rubbed away through. Today got out the spare 14 ga., soldering iron, electricians tape, weatherproof rubber tape and it is fixed, but the RV is not pristine new any more. Sigh!
