No, I didn't get a power cord with the trailer. That would have been nice (and less confusing!).

You don't need a buddy at a boat shop to get a power cable. This IS the standard trailer connector also, so any RV shop will have it. Or just order one online: |

Okay I think that I understand now. Did you not get the power cord with the trailer? |

"So if I am reading the post correctly, this connector should be able to
pull away from the trailer somehow? I tried yanking and twisting it but
it didn't budge."
If the cable is connected to the trailer and you want to detach it, reverse Doug's instructions above. Twist the black locking ring counterclockwise until it is loose. It may take some muscle. Then twist the connect (attached to the cord) one quarter turn counterclockwise and pull out. The cable should come loose in your hand. |

The plug end (the part on the pod shown above) is permanently attached. The socket end (on the cord) will not come off when attached to the pod correctly - plug in and twist a quarter turn clockwise. Then turn the threaded ring on the outside clockwise to finish.

Agree with above, this is the usual connection used on the pods and many other campers. The socket end of the cord that attaches to the pod stopped making a good contact this spring (after just 3 1/2 seasons) so I replaced it with a standard 30 amp twist lock outlet. This one doesn't have the threads on the outside. The cover on the plug built into the pod cracked off several winters ago, I haven't replaced it yet.
