I've seen these: https://powerwerx.co...oof-safety-boot but what I'd want is something that would water-tight a two conductor version of this: https://powerwerx.co...werpole-housing in the side of the camper when the jacks are mounted and connected. The jack's connector need not be water-tight, but the hole in the camper for the camper side of the connector needs to be sealed because where they come through the camper wall is exposed to spray from going down the road. Right now they employ a semi-labyrinth seal screw-on thing that I have little faith in.

One approach might be to use some adhesive filled heat shrink tubing either by itself over one of the weather boots and down the wire for two or three inches past the end of the boot.
 

You could even use a smaller diameter tube for each of the two wires and also a larger diameter tube to cover the housing, and also, over the paired wires. Some of the tubing is heavier and tougher than the standard stuff for mechanical protection where it goes through the pickup bed wall.
