What Type of Quick Connect to Use for Blue Wire of Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Charger

Question

Question:

I dont think this was addressed in your install video. The blue wire that is used with a variable output alternator, what kind of quick disconnect connector would you recommend between the trailer and tow vehicle so that it can easily be disconnected when unhooking the trailer? Something waterproof and fairly durable?

For a quick connect/disconnect style of wiring connector to connect the blue wire of the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # RED96FR to trailer wiring a single bullet style connector would be really easy to use and effective. We don't carry any currently but they are available at hardware stores.
