A simple solution to the trailer sockets is to have 2 female connections.
One on the vehicle and one on the trailer.
When not in use the flap closes over the connections and hey presto no water or crap can get into them when left parked up outside.
I use a length of wiring loom with the male connection at each end and they plug into to each female when I need to use the trailer.
This is the same as what happens on the rental trailers here,sort of as deterrent to stopping them from being used unofficially as they hold on to the leads when the trailer is not on hire
this is also usefull for people who keep nipping or driving off with plug in , just fit a new link lead and off you go!!! the unauthorised use thing, nah can make one up in 10 mins

i dont know what all the fuss about corrosion is, it costs less than a fiver for two sockets, and 10mins to change them, so change them every year if they look dodgy, no big deal really. and if you wrap them in a plastic bag you are asking for trouble. :doh
Could always clean it with HP Sauce:augie Leave it on for 5 mins and rinse with water, brings it up like new:thumbs If you don't believe me try it:clap
Wonder what that HP Sauce does to your guts
