[VAC] Re: Early 60s Bargman plug hook-up

Tim and Linda.  For safety sakes, focus your attention to safety, and not how 
many different trailers you can tow with the same connector. Life is worth 
far more than the price of a connector.
Also, using a Bargman "flat blade" connector is not a good idea. First of 
all, they corrode badly, and secondly, one grain of sand will stop it from 
working. Also as they age, you will have to clean it every time you want to 
use the trailer.
Instead you can use the "Pollack" connectors that have the "aircraft type 
pins," which are self cleaning. They cost a little more, but provide the 
ultimate in performance. A corroded or ill fitting connector can fail at any 
time, perhaps when you need the brakes the next time, and then it's too late. 

Ask anyone who has had the experience. 
Most Airstream dealers carry those connectors and boots for them.
