This is the exact set up that we use on fire department emergency vehicles that are often left plugged in for charging onboard 120V electrical equipment. The 90º connection at the vehicle receptacle has more friction than the 180º extension which pulls apart first. One of our older tower trucks has a make up air line for its braking system. The short, cheap plastic extension line used for it gets replaced about once a year. For those of us not needing to make a hasty exit from our camping spots, I go with the "reminder" method of hanging something on the steering wheel or mirror which also works well for remembering the pop top, too. -- Stephen Chillicothe OH |
