Thanks JK....

I think you misread the post. He’s trying to reinstall the ring onto the cord, not connect it to the trailer.[/QUOTE]Msgt Ray (Ret) and Margie Parker

Attached is that thread referenced by Ken started by Paul (Poppy's 5th Wheel.) While Paul did not follow up on this thread, I seem to recall that the suggestions from Furrion did work.

Just as an FYI for those who don’t know, aluminum replacement rings are available. https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories.../F50RNGSS.html. And https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories.../F30RNGSS.html

I did replace my plastic ring when it split. I used the aluminum ring when I replaced it. I actually heated the cord head a little so it would be pliable and then a little grease allowed the ring to slip on at an angle. I also bought the Camco 90 degree adapter to take some of the strain off of the 50 amp receptacle.

Just a thought. I was also paranoid that the really heavy cord would pull the receptacle right out of the wall. We bought a 50 Amp dog-bone with a Trailer twist lock 90 degree connector on one end and a 50 amp female 90 degree on the other end. All of our 50 amp cords have male/female 90 degree connectors anyway for mixing and matching as necessary. Now the heavy cord hangs straight down with no support required.... https://www.etrailer.com/Marine-Powe.../CAM55562.html

Is it absolutely necessary to use the threaded ring? Since it is a twist-lock connection, wouldn't continuity be maintained without the ring?
I built a PVC stand to take all load off of the 50 amp power cable at the trailer connection, so at this point I am wondering about the benefit of using the ring.2020 Reflection 273MK

I have been using one of these for 4 years and really like it; heavy cord hangs straight down. I will say, I think I read here that someone had one short on them, so be aware. That said, mine has been trouble free and I use it every trip. I can see the strain caused by the bend of the cord on rigs not using one.
