12 pin RV plug??

[Alchemistic]

Any of you out there have FORD (super-duty) insider connection(s)??

Am working on order form for a new 2017 Ford Super-Duty & option item for "Remote Trailer Camera option" states that it requires "12 pin RV Plug."

New Truck can be ordered w/ 360* viewing & then can add option for 7th camera for trailer; a hard wired camera. Says 12 pins are magnetic inside a weatherproof connection , , , ???

Bump . . .

I searched a lot, and couldn't find much. It seems 12 pin (and others) are used in other countries, notably Australia. Didn't find anything about a magnetic latch, and I couldn't find anything on the Ford board either. Anybody?

Thanks! will look up 'Auzzie RV' . . .
Pins are said to be magnetic, not latch
"weatherproof" is threaded ring like 50amp land line power cord
I'm working off " 3rd Draft" computer pages printed & sent to us as a "'supplier'" for early model ordering . . .

I think I have seen that type of plug on army trucks like a chevy blazer with the threaded coller

Google says it's a NATO plug????

Sounds right to me. I have a set (both halves) that I picked up for a project many years ago.
Can't help with the Ford part, though.

Thanks, All
Is a Military Spec System w/ years & #s of use and very few problems

Why would it be necessary to have 12 pins when adding a single pin necessary for power? Can anyone name the use of the other 4 pins?
Not sure the info is correct.

Could the extra pins be for the camera??

12 pin RV plug is 2(two) plugs on 2017 Super Duty Ford. Standard 7 RV & second for trailer Camera(s) & Trailer Tire monitoring. 7 pin RV on top & Camera/ TPM connection below. No info was available about "'magnetic'" connections.

Test driving per-production 2017 F450, truck would spin all 6 tires anytime due to drive-by-wire & my Neuropathy(T-2 diabetic)! Will need to learn(get) "foot feel" to avoid tickets. Way stronger then 2012 or 2015 6.7s; Engine has several updates, but Auto-Trans. has 20+ up-grades.

Ford is still working on printed GVWR & GCVWR s; w/ DOT, Feds, & Insurance Safety getting involved in Weight Ratings listings, Ford could up their ratings by 18 - 20% meeting new regulations. New ratings don't allow for any engineered Safety Margins. Ford loves safety margins!
