    7 Way cord length/pulling out when in tight turns

    We have a new 2020 Reflection 303RLS and tow with a 2013 F250 short bed truck. My plug in of course is below the bumper and while the 7 way cord is long enough to connect i have pulled it out once when backing into a site. Almost pulled out again the other day on a tighter turn. I know Ford has a kit to make a plug in on the sidewall of the truck bed, but I prefer to not cut into the truck. Anyone else have this issue and suggestion on how to fix so I do not pull the cord out when turning? How long should a 7 way cord be anyway to have enough clearance for turns, but not drag the ground either? Have never had this issue on other campers we have owned.

    Thank you in advance for the help.

    Just get an extension cord and zip tie the excess.

    Install a receptacle in the side of the bed on the inside where they normally are for a fifth wheel prep. It will reduce the chance of damage, etc.

    Either one of these suggestions will work. A 7 way extension is pretty cheap on Amazon.
