This LV Automotive cover suits a 50 amp Anderson connector and keeps the open end out of the dust when the plug is disconnected. You can run it on a drawbar power lead, on the back of the ute, or off a battery box where a single 50 amp plug feeds the rest of your setup. The loop tail slips over the cable so the cover hangs off the plug and stays with the gear between trips.

The cover is moulded from a flexible rubber style material with walls around 2–3 mm thick to take knocks in the back of the wagon. It fits the standard Anderson style housing footprint at roughly 37 mm by 26 mm, which matches most 12V trailer and camping looms. The compact body adds only a few grams to the lead so it will not tug on lighter 6 mm or 8 mm twin-sheathed cable when you get out there on rough roads.

Q: Does this cover fit all genuine 50 Amp Anderson style plugs?

It suits standard 50 Amp Anderson style housings. Most grey 50 Amp connectors on 12V trailer and camping setups share the same outer shape, so the cover grips around the body without modification. If your plug is a standard size clone or genuine brand, it should slide straight in. Oversized high-current or different key sizes will not match this cover.

Q: Can I leave the cover hanging while the Anderson plug is connected?

Yes, the loop allows the cover to hang from the cable while the plug is mated. This means the cover stays with the lead instead of getting lost in the back of the vehicle. It simply flips back over the connector mouth once you unplug. This makes it handy for regular hitching and unhitching on touring trips.

Q: Is the cover suitable for use near the towbar under the vehicle?

It is suitable for exposed rear bar locations on most vehicles. The flexible rubber style material copes with spray, dust and minor stone flicks around the towbar area. It helps keep mud and grime out of the connector face between uses. You should still route the cable clear of direct exhaust heat and sharp metal edges.

Q: Do I need tools to install this cover on my lead?

No tools are required for a typical install. You slide the loop over the cable before the Anderson housing, or remove and refit the terminal pins if the plug is already crimped. Once the loop is on the cable, the cover body stretches over the connector shell. After that, it can be flipped on and off the connector mouth by hand.
