Is this the correct plug to trickle charge through the trailer pin? I don’t need to make any modifications? Just plug and leave?

If anyone is looking, Costco has the Battery Tender® 5 AMP Weather Resistant Battery Charger & Maintainer for $46 in store, online its $54. By comparison Amazon has it listed for $99.
It was on sale this weekend, too. $10 off. I picked one up.

Looks like mine, just plug in and forget it. But like many have said don't forget to unplug it.

If it's not forgetting to unplug when leaving, it's not forgetting to plug in when arriving. What's the rule of thumb? 21 days to start a new habit?

I am trying to decide between the Battery Tender and the Ctek charger. They have different connections. Which trailer plug adapter is this one?

Hi! I have both those brands and they have worked great for years. Either would work here as I just cut the wires on a charger extension cable and hard wired it to the trailer plug. Here is the plug I went with, but there are lots to choose from: LINK
