This is really very simple - look again at the picture of the yellow power cord posted above. The female end - the part with the threaded collar plugs into your trailer. Plug it in, give it a little twist and screw the collar on being carefull not to cross thread it. It's cheap plastic like everything else made for a TT.
Now, look at the opposite end of the yellow cord in the picture above. The male end - the one with prongs plugs into the little black pig tail you say you got with the trailer. The other end plugs into you standard house plug.
If you don't have something like the long yellow cord (they also come in black) then get one.
This will power the plugs in your TT but You cannot run the AC plugged into household current.
Bingo. I get it now, thanks!
And at the camp sites, if they have a 15amp plug I use just the yellow cord. If they have a 30amp plug, I need a cord like the yellow one but with the male version of the twist-lock 30amp at the other end. I think I understand now, thanks!
