Roam Gear 12V Double Anderson Surface Mount with 50A Anderson Plugs

Choose an angled mount if you are fixing the connection to an external surface like a canopy wall or trailer drawbar. The downward orientation helps protect the plug face from rain and dust buildup, which is a common cause of terminal corrosion. These are particularly useful for mounting on the side of a rig where vertical space is available.

If you are fitting out a custom drawer system or internal control panel, a flush mount is often the better choice. It keeps the connection recessed and prevents gear from snagging on the plug while you are moving items around in the back of your vehicle. Both styles provide a secure mechanical fix for high current accessories.

Angled surface mounts typically only require a small hole for the electrical cable to pass through and a few smaller holes for the mounting screws. Unlike flush mount options, you do not need to cut a large rectangular opening in your vehicle panels. The body of the mount sits entirely on the surface.

This makes them a practical choice for DIY builds where you want a clean installation with minimal drilling. It also allows you to mount the plug on structural frames or thin canopy walls without affecting the integrity of the material. Using the correct wire size is still important for these connections.

Install your solar input plug near the rear of the vehicle, on a canopy wall, or near the trailer drawbar. These locations allow you to easily connect a portable panel without running long cables across the ground or through your interior. Positioning the plug in an accessible spot helps you setup your charging quickly.

Using an angled mount in these areas is a smart move because it directs the cable downward, which reduces strain on the plug and naturally sheds water. This setup keeps your fridge and lights running while your vehicle stays parked in the shade. Every solar input should still be managed by a regulator to protect your house battery.

These mounts are weather resistant but not fully submersible. The angled design naturally sheds rain and condensation away from the electrical contacts, which helps prevent corrosion and short circuits. While the housing handles splashes and dust, you should still avoid mounting them where pooling water or heavy pressure washing is likely.

Keeping the terminals clean helps your system perform correctly during long term travel. If you are mounting a plug in a very exposed location, using a rubber dust cover provides an extra layer of protection for the internal terminals. This simple step helps maintain a low resistance connection for your accessories.
