Question about my Zinger's plug.
Hey guys ( and gals ). Got a little jacknifed last trip ( SMALL Taco Bell parking lot ) and pinched the main plug from TT to my truck. Can someone tell me if this plug is generic and if so what length...

Hi Phil,
I see you have already ordered the molded plug with cable. For sure the way to go.
But I wanted to ask about your hitch. What kind is it, and how long is it?
I have a Reese that is 17.5 inches long (not including the hitch head). It is so long that the safety chains on my new camper wouldn't reach the truck! As near as I can tell, a standard shank is more like 13.5 inches, and I have been planning to take mine to a machine shop to get it shortened.
However, I have been concerned about the very problem you ran into, and have considered trying to compromise by only cutting off 2 inches instead of 4.
Is your hitch shank shorter than 13.5 inches?
