Keeps your 7-way power cord off the ground, organized, and protected. Stores outside the pin box to prevent wire cuts, fraying, and animal nesting. Strong magnetic attachment — no drilling required.
A 7-way trailer power cord left loose between trips is a cord headed for trouble. Dragging on the ground causes abrasion, cuts, and fraying that lead to electrical failures. Stuffed inside the pin box, the cord creates a warm, sheltered environment that rodents and birds actively seek out for nesting — often with expensive results. The MORryde SP56-463 Cord Keeper solves both problems in one simple, magnetic bracket.
The Cord Keeper mounts magnetically to the exterior of the pin box — no drilling, no permanent modification — and provides a dedicated, secure storage position for the 7-way power cord outside the pin box cavity. The cord stays elevated off the ground, protected from abrasion and moisture, and inaccessible to animals looking for nesting material. Strong magnets hold the bracket firmly in place through road vibration and normal use, and the whole unit can be removed just as easily when needed.
Powerful magnets hold the bracket securely to the pin box exterior — no drilling, no hardware, no permanent modification required
Storing the cord outside the pin box eliminates the sheltered cavity that rodents and birds use to build nests inside the pin box
Keeps the 7-way cord elevated off the ground and secured — preventing cuts, abrasion, fraying, and moisture damage between trips
Magnetic application means zero holes, zero fasteners, and zero modifications to your pin box or trailer frame
Power cords stored inside the pin box create a serious and commonly overlooked risk. The pin box cavity is warm, dark, and sheltered — exactly what rodents and birds look for when building nests. Once inside, animals chew through wiring insulation, damage connectors, and pack the cavity with nesting debris that traps moisture and accelerates corrosion. Storing the 7-way cord outside the pin box with the SP56-463 removes the primary access point animals use to enter the cavity — closing off the gap where the cord enters and exits. This is one of the simplest and most effective steps a fifth wheel or travel trailer owner can take to prevent expensive pin box and wiring damage.
The SP56-463 uses a magnetic attachment and requires a ferrous (magnetic) steel surface on the pin box to function. Before ordering, confirm: 1. Pin box material: The pin box must have an exposed steel surface for the magnets to grip. Aluminum pin boxes or pin boxes with non-magnetic coatings may not provide adequate magnetic hold. 2. Surface condition: Heavy rust, thick paint, or plastic covers over the pin box surface can reduce magnetic holding strength. A clean, flat steel surface provides the best attachment. 3. Fifth wheel and travel trailer application: The SP56-463 is designed for use with standard fifth wheel pin boxes and travel trailer coupler areas with magnetic surfaces. Verify your trailer's pin box is compatible before purchase.
Setup Steps: 1. Identify Mounting Location: Choose a flat, accessible steel surface on the exterior of your pin box where the Cord Keeper will not interfere with hitching, unhitching, or other components 2. Clean the Surface: Wipe the pin box surface clean of dirt, grease, and debris to ensure maximum magnetic contact 3. Position the Cord Keeper: Hold the SP56-463 against the pin box surface and allow the magnets to attach — adjust positioning as needed 4. Route the Power Cord: Feed the 7-way power cord into the Cord Keeper's storage position, keeping the cord elevated and away from the pin box cavity opening 5. Verify Secure Hold: Confirm the bracket is firmly seated and the cord is secured before leaving the campsite No tools required. Refer to MORryde's documentation for specific routing guidance for your pin box configuration.
