Watch the plug
Set the camper in the truck on top of the harness. Caused some strange power spikes in the truck, and didn't have tail lights for the better part of 300 miles... sporty!

As I back under the TC, the cord is looped over the front left jack head.
When I get the camper close enough to plug it in, I leave the rest of the cord hanging out over the outside of the pickup box.
Only once the TC is resting in the bed and the jacks are retracted do I push the rest of the cord into the pickup box. No possibility of the cord ending up under the TC.

X3- I don't think NS switched. All th NS campers that I have seen are plugged in the rear.

Makes me glad Northstar builds their campers to plug into the rear 7-pin trailer socket. :)
NorthStar here and mine plugs into the bed. As others have stated, looped over the jack head.
Oops. Wonder when Northstar switched?DWeikert wrote:

- We have 2 pigtails. one is the normal seven pin and the other is a 2 pin with a pair of #4 wires to run the refer while on the road.
We keep them both out of the way until the camper is set down and then we plug them in to the camper. - I always used a Y-cable off the rear 7-pin. I connect the cable before loading the TC and leave it coiled on the SuperTruss. Once the TC is loaded, I run the cable along side the camper to its plug.
