In order to achieve this you need not have a dedicated soldering iron. Simply use a pair of vice-grips with a nail...heat up the nail with a torch and use rosin core solder. Take the hot nail and touch the connection until it gets hot enough to melt the solder. A soldered connection will never need servicing in the field...it's only if you DON'T solder will you need to do this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09863168502971341144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-6236592687032061302015-10-04T06:32:50.903-07:002015-10-04T06:32:50.903-07:00Don,

I don't think Walmart of Camping World carry them.

There IS a small bead all the way around including under the cable clamp. In this case, solder isn't necessary and most people would not have a soldering iron that would get hot enough to NOT create a cold joint. Besides...much harder to repair in the field if it fails...<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Rich "The Wanderman"The Wandermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111895389728923307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-32793206268172653172015-10-03T06:15:46.803-07:002015-10-03T06:15:46.803-07:00Good advice!Good advice!MrTommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296096084733046456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-43258939617022342972015-10-03T05:33:16.256-07:002015-10-03T05:33:16.256-07:00Hi Rich,
Your suggestion about inserting the wire...Hi Rich,<br /><br />Your suggestion about inserting the wires under the screws clockwise is good but that's not what the picture shows. Remind people that when they strip the insulation off don't accidentally cut any wire strands off with it. It would be a good point to also solder the wires to each lug and screw also. Finally, I'd apply some sealant to the inside of the plug where the cable enters the housing- then reassemble before it dries.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09863168502971341144noreply@blogger.com
