Yep, thats why they call it a suicide cord. You can't always be there to assure that it is being handled properly.
Exactly, that's why I'm looking around for a power inlet. I kind of got ahead of myself and thought, "what the heck, they should all be about the same". Later, the previous poster awakened the neural channels. I realized the safety issue, immediately. I'll spell it out so there is no confusion: If the double-ended (males) cord is unplugged from the trailer while the other end is still attached to the CG pedestal, the pins on the trailer side plug are still energized. If the pins would touch the metal trailer skin or a bypasser, there would be electrical mayhem or probable injury. I've been zapped more times than I like to think about but I bet getting tangled up with a male end like that would be a serious deal.
