Getting a new f250. On my past two trucks, I have had a 7 pin connector inside the pick up truck box. The 5th wheel trailer I now have has the Reese Revolution hitch (similar to the Sidewinder). I plan to use it in the revolving mode, so the pin box will be stationary at the fifth wheel hitch and revolve under the trailer. My question is, can I plug my trailer in at the receptacle in the bumper, or is it still a good idea to have a receptacle mounted in the box of the truck? Advice appreciated.
I don't have an in-bed connector, but wish to hell I did. I've broken 2 connectors by having the cord hang up on the bed corner in a tight turn. Once was with my FW and the other time was with our GN trailer. With the FW, I do have a 6' extension cord that I run around my Companion, then over the tailgate. Bought it before knowing about in-bed connectors. It works...
