  • Fried 120V Electrical Connection - Need Assistance with Replacement Part

    A fellow Reflection 297RSTS owner (Shawn Dunphy) had an electrical connector fry on his 2017. I'm trying to help him locate a replacement part. Any suggestions on where to order one? I can't locate the part or part number on the parts look up page.

    I had one of those fail under my slide. I replaced it with a regular 115V receptacle and plug. Mine was not in a weather sensitive location, but if it was they make those too:

      I did the same a Neil. The original connector takes a special crimping tool to assemble. Not worth the hassle when regular extension cord replacement ends will accomplish the same thing. I did all three of the circuits to my slide, two years ago, and everything has been fine since.

          That is one of the Molex connectors covered by the recall that was just issued.
