    sticky 12V plugs

    My camper has several proper 12V outlets to run various things,,
    but they are a REAL PITA to unplug,,
    I mean pull the female base out of the wall PITA,,,,

    any bright ideas on how to fix this?
    I suppose some form of lube,,
    but what?

    I'm not sure what plugs you mean but spraying them with silicone spray would probably fix them.

    I doubt it ... but graphite powder probably would ..

    And as a bonus it would make them slippery little suckers

    No but your lights will still work. It doesn't leave an impermeable barrier on the contacts.
    It's great stuff.

    They're fairly bulky. Why not the typical Narva/Hella type with the central +'ve that clicks into the spring receiver with the -'ve around the outer.
    They work well for typical low V apps.
