We got a call for no 120v power in an RV. After taking a look, we found that the 30 amp receptacle was hanging out, had burn marks on it, and the power cord also had burn marks. The atea surrounding the receptacle was wet and rotted. The owner wanted a new power cord. But after advising that a proper repair needed to be done to insure their safety, the owner agreed. A mounting plate was installed, a new receptacle, and a new power cord. The owner is now enjoying the restored power.
For those living in an RV, it is imperative that you occasionally check your connections as, over time, the plugs and receptacles will corrode, creating a resistance, and will begin to overheat. Eventually leading to failure.
