We just took possession of a 2016 r-pod 180 HRE.  While there is a plug-in port for Zamp solar panels, the 120w Zamp panels come with no plug for the r-pod, only battery clamps.  Has anyone come up with a plug?

Congrats on your new Pod!!

You should be able to go to any automotive parts store and find the connector by there trickle battery chargers.  They are called SAE connectors or cables.  Here is a link to one on Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Schumacher-WM-12-Connector-Battery-Maintainer/dp/B003WDDLTO/ref=sr_1_5?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1456671099&sr=1-5&keywords=sae+cable

Ok, after looking on Amazon again I found this and would probably suit your needs best.  You can order this plug in various gauges of wire.  Here is the link
