SmartPlug vs. Twist Lock


RV and boat owners have long relied on Twist Lock style connections for powering their rides. For years, it has been the best option for connecting to shore power. It's been reliable, but most know it's not without disadvantages:


Twist-Type Design Problems

  • Curved pins make minimal surface contact, increasing the amount of heat generated
  • Locking ring can be prone to breaking, cross threading, and stripping out
  • Faulty locking ring puts strain on the connection
  • Wear and debris can loosen the fit, further decreasing surface contact
  • Circular plug shape isn't user friendly and takes some awareness of the orientation of the pins to insert correctly

SmartPlug's connector addresses each of these concerns and does all of the heavy lifting.


Locking arms grab the inlet, a clamp inside the plug body holds the cord, the inlet cap snaps to the top while in use, and the integrated seals weatherproof the connection. This helps prevent the wiggly, dirty connections that increase electrical resistance, which creates potentially dangerous heat.


Since it uses a square plug face, SmartPlug is able to use flat pins which create far more surface contact, further reducing the risk of high heat and electrical arcing. The square shape and flat pins also make it easy to plug in - no more twisting or guessing if the pins are lined up correctly.

I found the installation of the inlet easy and the modification of the connector very easy. The instructions were very easy to follow and very comprehensive.

The only issue was the rear cover (pictured) for the inlet could not fit at the front location of may 2019 Airstream Flying Cloud 27 ft. FB. I also installed the cable port.



by:

This Smart plug inlet plug is true to size. I've used the Smart Plug system on other RVs and am familiar with the better contact area. I was delighted to see that this plug fit inside the connection center of my campervan, and still be able to close cover with no bulging.



by:

The old style RV plugs are prone to have connection problems which causes melting of the unit. That happened to me in below freezing weather and we lost power to our trailer. This new plug will not have that problem. It fits together solidly and I don't worry about any loose connection. I have seen that the SmartPlug is now standard equipment on Airstream trailers. That's quite an endorsement. You Cann't go wrong with the SmartPlug system.



by:

After a year I really like this SmartPlug system. Was easy to install. And it works great.



by:

I have on several occasions experienced times when my electricity inside our RV wasn't working. It would inevitably be because the connection from shore power to the camper was loose. I just installed my new SmartPlug today and already feel confident in the connection. Purchasing from etrailer was easy and the product shipped in a timely manner.



by:

etrailer kept me in the loop on the backorder of the black SmartPlug, I understood the supply chain, but it was nice to be updated on the timeline for shipment. So nice for a company to keep you in the loop without having to chase the details!



by:

When saw this of course I said I wanted it. This make hooking up a lot easier and I feel more secure about the electrical connection. Now my friend wants me to change his. The conversation was very simple.



by:

No complaints. Got what I ordered, installed it and it worked. SmartPlug 30amp white.



by:

arrived on time, already installed on my enclosed trailer conversion to laundry room :D

  • Comparing 50A SmartPlug Plastic and Stainless Steel Options
    The plastic that comes on the 50A SmartPlug RV Power Inlet and Connector # SM76FR is very durable and you'll be happy with it for years to come. The reason why SmartPlug offers the Stainless Steel alternative, Kit # SM96FR, is because they understand the desire for high-quality electrical parts so they wanted to offer a premium version. As durable as plastic can be, it will never last longer or be a better protector than Stainless Steel. Attached are review videos for both options that...

    It sounds like you're looking for an RV power inlet to get power to your RV from a shore connection.
