Where has everyone mounted their trailer plug?

[Spyderman62]

In the final stages of installing a Bushtec hitch. Wiring the isolator when smooth, and now the big dilema....where to mount the bike side recepticle for the trailer plug? Replace the license plate light and use that area? Hate to mount under the hitch as the road debris will beat the hell out of the wiring. Any suggestions and tips greatly appreciated. I am just about to use a flat 5 plug or square 6 pin plug and forget the mounted round 6 plug altogether. Thanks in advance. Kevin:helpsmilie:

We didn't mount the bike side trailer plug to anything. It hangs right by the hitch pin. It does collect some road dust but seems no worse for wear. The plug from the hitch to the isolator is attached just inside of the underseat pan.

When not in use a simple balloon over the receptacle works great to keep it clean.

I have the bushec hitch as well, and the only wire exposed is the pig tail of a plug hanging out of the hitch by the ball for trailer connection.. In fact have both the Bushtec and 5 pin installed thru the hitch.
