RadioShack has lots of Power Connectors which have a positive locking
device.  They are polarized so you cannot plug them in backwards.  Just
remove and discard the cig. lighter socket and wire in new connectors.  You
are already fused and now you will have a positive connection.  They are
sold separately so you can get several male plugs and one female.  The
female should be used on the RV connection side.  Even the smaller plugs
have 8 amp ratings.  Get connectors which are rated at the highest current
you will be attaching.  The cigarette lighter socket is usually fused at 20
amps.
