Yep! I think it is a twist lock. What does 3cp mean?

Not the easiest way, but it beats going to my local dealer. I've dealt with a lot of them, but the one i've got now, Cherry Hill (NJ) Mercedes, is the worst of the worst! For instance, you can't use a credit card to order parts over the phone: you have to go there, and come back when the part comes in. Plus, the people in the parts department aren't allowed to process payments. They send it through a pneumatic tube to a cashier in another part of the bldg, and you have to wait there until she gets around to it. Not to mention that they've wanted 50-100% more than other dealers for the same part. So, going to them for even the simplest thing has become the choice of last resort for me.
Thanks for the help
