Think about not installing cigarette lighter outlets on your teardrop. I know many appliances still come with those plugs but they are easy to change to a more reliable plug/outlet. My first trip with my fridge the plug repeatedly fell out of the cigarette lighter outlet when i was on the road. They are sh**.
I switched to all Anderson Powerpole and have not had any more vibration issues. There are others that are just as reliable. APPs are not the only answer.
Does Dometic still ship with cigarette lighter plugs? I imagine that would be a tough changeover since everyone expects them and would say "what the crap" if they shipped with anything else.

Good point! I will say we've used our cigarette lighter style plug for our DVD payer, which, of course, is not operating while we are driving.
