I wrote that when we moved from Paul Wolff to Big Rock, we were not able to hook up the Jeep because the lights would not work. Carl found that the connector was corroded and the wires were not staying connected.
We had gotten the new part, and on Thursday last week, Carl took the old connector off and put the new one on.

| Since our big awning is not yet installed (it is awaiting our return to Dallas), Carl set up a big umbrella next to the picnic table at the site to do the work. |

| Plugged in -- it works... though the brake causes the turn signal (amber) to light (which was the same problem we had previously with the Jeep - more research needed to figure out how to fix). |
 |
| We noted that the protective rubber casing on the cable was breaking down... |
 |
| ... so we did a little work on protecting it from further damage with Rescue Tape, though we're thinking that replacing the cable may be required in the future. We've read that others have had similar problems with the rubber casing breaking down after a few years of service. |
We moved from Big Rock to Paul Wolff Campground today (Wednesday) and were able to hook up and tow the Jeep so we could ride together in Gracie on the short drive.
