I was considering adding such plug on my new truck, but from what I check factory puts them in rear corner of the bed.
That require to use cord extension anyway and with tall bed sides on newer trucks, you don't have access to the plug with camper on.
So what's the point?
I plug the extension into bumper plug, drive under the camper and plug camper cord into extension, securing the cables hanging on camper side.
Than lower the camper and I am done.
For years I've been crawling under the camper to pull bumper plug and in dry weather it is not a big deal, but thinking about my knees getting stiffer and stiffer with age and potential for camping in the rain, , the side cable connection is way better.
I know every camper and truck combination is different with regards to how much room you have to reach over the bedrail into the side of the bed. With my combination, I have plenty of room to reach in and plug in the cable to the 7-way at the back of my bed. That being said, what I do is plug the cable into the 7-way in my bed and loop the cable over the side. I then back my truck under the camper and after lowering it onto the truck I plug the other end into the camper.
I do know on my buddy's Arctic Fox he only has about an inch of clearance from the top of the bedrail to the bottom of his camper so he cannot reach in if needed to plug/unplug at the 7-way in his bed.
