Does anyone make a waterproof replacement extension cord end??

[Brian Ski]

Prefer a lighted one. I have dozens of cords and the female end tends to wear out. Am I up to buying another one? The replacement ones are not water tight and trip a GFCI, and when I get to my truck in the morning it won't start. There are replacement lighted ones, but they are almost $20 a pop. And still not water proof. I love the freezing rain.

yes, and you can also get a waterproof case that snaps over both plugs..

Thanks for the link. I will have to dig through. I wonder if they have a lighted one. I did see the cases before. but they seemed more watertight if they were horizontal. With the cord on my truck, it hangs vertical and has a 3 wire ribbon that would not seal very well.

I know my solution is kind of crude, but I wrap any outdoor cord in plastic food wrap. It has worked on the Christmas lights for years. A roll of no name saran wrap is as close to free as you will get.

I have tried that too... But I have to pull this plug apart every morning. Water always wins...

Nice to get the right terms. The nice lighted water tight ones are $70+ But the non lighted ones are under $20... I will go with a lighted male end, that end does not need to be water tight and I can see both ends from inside.

Thx

This is a good thread. Did not know such things existed
