Protect Electrical Connections http://www.fmcmagazine.com/images/stories/techtips/2012/Electrical-water-proofing.jpgI use dielectric grease compound any time I am working on electrical connections that are exposed to water, road salts, or corrosive elements. The electrical umbilical cord that runs from the motorhome to the towed vehicle is protected on both the male and female ends, and I have never had contact problems. The grease helps to improve electrical performance during adverse conditions such as rain, fog, salt spray, and temperature extremes. Just fill any voids, coat the connectors with the grease, and then make the connection.
Dielectric grease is made by several manufacturers, and it can be found in a variety of stores, including those that sell auto parts. I purchased mine from an electrical supply house. It may be a bit messy, but it’s worth a couple of paper towels.
