OK, StephenH was right on the money identifying that door wedge part that fell off my camper, what's this plastic holder looking thing on the frame used for? It looks like it could hold a pole or something, but it's too close to the body for that. It made a great holder for my small can of WD-40 when re-doing the stabilizer jack stand bolts... |

That, my friend, is for stowing the round Bargman connector when it is not plugged into the receptacle on your tow vehicle. Since it stows the connector pins down, it helps keep the connector corrosion free and clean since rain and dirt can't easily get into it.

what a great idea! that part is definitely NOT included in the earlier pods. It would be a great addition to any trailer. Forest River is thinking! Vann ------------- Vann & Laura 2015 RPod 179 https://postimg.cc/0zwKrfB9">

It is available from various sources. This one is like the one in the picture: https://www.amazon.com/Boat-Camper-Trailer-Light-Holder/dp/B006R5C0G4/ - https://www.amazon.com/Boat-Camper-Trailer-Light-Holder/dp/B006R5C0G4/ This one is also a holder, but of a different style: https://www.walmart.com/ip/6-7-Way-Connector-Holder-Replacement-Auto-Part-Easy-to-Install/35374646 - https://www.walmart.com/ip/6-7-Way-Connector-Holder-Replacement-Auto-Part-Easy-to-Install/35374646 I have one of each. One is holding the regular connector and the other is holding the connector for the Hayes Sway-Master when they are not in use. This is a third type that looks like it attaches to the jack shaft: https://www.amazon.com/HUSKY-TOWING-81497-Connector-Storage/dp/B01MFFC0IU - https://www.amazon.com/HUSKY-TOWING-81497-Connector-Storage/dp/B01MFFC0IU

Oh gee whiz, I'm such a newbie as my current status here shows! Thanks StephenH, it just wasn't clicking for me. And to make matters worse, (or funnier) I had one of those of my list of accessories to buy!  I don't feel so bad though because when we first went camping in this R-Pod, another guy at the campground was looking at my trailer and said I needed to get one of those cable plug holders. It seems a little father back than where it needs to be, but maybe they have it in that spot intentionally because the overhang from the front offers a little shelter from the elements there. |

We've all been beginners once. Hang in there. One day, you will be identifying parts for somebody.
