Why not twist or locking connectors? I ask out of ignorance. If I put a male on the dog bone adaptor to the camper and a female on the supply cord I would think that would make a tighter connection rather than just pushing in a friction connection. I realize the limiting factor to the twist or locking connectors. If I put the locking connector on the supply cord and male on the dog bone that would be the only cable I could use unless I replace the other cables in the same manner. What leans me to the locking connectors is the one on the camper is like new and the 50 amp female at that connection is also like new. I was attributing it to a tighter connection because of the locking ability. Idono
Best to have a cord direct from the RV to the pedestal. No adapters. See my amazon link above.
If you go twistlock I recommend Hubbell brand.
Oh ok Yeah the fewer connections the better. What I was thinking was to take the male off the Dog bone and replace it with a male twist lock. Take the female off the power cord and replace it with a female twist lock.
