My contacts sometimes get a little dirty I guess... I usually squirt some WD40 into the contact area and then hookup the 7-way cable moving it around before locking in place with the spring loaded lid... this keeps the contacts and blades clean for me...
Once locked in place with the spring loaded lid it is pretty tight on my setup...
Some folks don't like using WD40 on the contacts but I always have a can on-board along with a roll of duck tape haha... Use what you gots...
Take a look at your spring loaded lid and tabs to make sure they are indeed in place... Maybe one has some damage to it...
I have also seen one RV'er was using a short stretch rope around his cord and tied off to the truck bumper frame...
I also turn on the Truck running light and flashers and do a walk-around when first hooking up to make sure all DOT safety lights are working...
