My situation is I have a tri fold bed cover on the bed of my truck and a receptical that is in the drivers side of the bed just behind the cab and can not reach back under the cover to plug the umbilical cord from the 5th wheel into. Have been using the plug in the bumper and was thinking if I had a short 7 pin extension cord that I could plug into the receptical behind the cab that would be just long enough to get out from under the stationary panel of the bed cover so I could easily plug the umbilical cord into. Has anyone had a similar situation and would it work, really do not want to drill another hole in the bed of the truck to relocate the receptical and would like to get the cord from dropping over the tailgate.

Yes it does, I use an extension for the 7-pin cord. Bought it at the local rv dealer who happens to have a well stocked store, Leo's in Gambrills, MD. I don't know how long it is but it works just fine.

Thanks, I emailed them as I could not find it on their site and tried a search but do not know what to call it. Will see if they reply back.

Shouldn't be a problem at all - if there is one pre-made then even better.

Just a bit of a warning:
had a connection put in my ford 250 bed for my fifth wheeler. A year later got a warning on my dash that the trailer wasn't connected. tried all sorts of repairs. the mechanic finnally called the ford mechanic and his statement was he couldn't believe that the connection hadn't caused troubles before this. His recommendation was to get the extension for the cord to hook up the trailer connection directly to the original plug at the back of the truck.

I have a better recommendation for your Ford Mechanic - retire! Then go have the 2nd plug "properly" installed like the other 10-billion of us Ford owners have done sucessfully with the tow command system.
