Magnetic Trailer Plug
It costs more, but manufacturers of the EZ-Connector say it will likely be the last trailer plug you’ll ever buy. It’s waterproof, non-corrosive, and it won’t break when you forget to disconnect before driving away. That’s because of strong magnets that connect the vehicle to the trailer cable.
  Made in California, the magnetic plug was initially designed to be non-corrosive. Electrical connection systems corrode quickly on boat trailers backed into the ocean. But its design with two internal O-ring seals also makes it waterproof, and the magnets with spring-loaded contacts make a stronger connection and eliminate the problems of bent or corroded pins, broken covers or torn wiring.
  “It’s also very quick to connect. We sell them to the military so it meets their standards,” says Jo Cardoza, company CEO.
  “Salt spray, vibration and shock – this connector is the only one that can withstand those elements,” Cardoza says.
  Because of the strong magnetic pull, the connections hold together on dusty, bumpy roads for ranchers and horse trailer haulers. And if it does get pulled apart, it’s no worse for the wear.
  The connectors start at $59.99 for everything needed for a vehicle or trailer connection, and parts and adapters can be purchased individually. They are available at a variety of auto supply chains.
