When wiring this type of connector, you always wire the positive wire to the connector that is covered, and the ground to the connector that is exposed.
Doing so would only result in a connection which wouldn't do anything useful/good, as any connection would have crossed polarity.

When plugging in a portable solar panel, the SOLAR PANEL'S POSITIVE is wired to the covered connector. This follows the standard.
Which only means the trailer side connector has its exposed contact connected straight to the battery +.
Tell us about "the standard" you refer to, and where it can be found.
