Now I can use either the original or new connector to power the trailer. This makes it easy to connect to a generator sitting in the bed of my truck.

That brings up a simple question - Why in heck does the factory install the 50A connector on the rear wall? Makes no sense at all to me as 1) it cost more to install it back there and 2) mounting it on the side of the trailer would make it more convenient.

In the photo you can see the 50A connector I installed that's just behind the front compartment door.

Our 3791RD has the 50A connector on the side just behind the rear wheel and I really like that. Just this morning I viewed videos on You Tube rating the Preditor 3500 and it looks really good. Check it out. I plan to add one soon!
