Expert Reply:
I recommend upgrading to the SmartPlug RV Power Cord and Black Inlet part # SM69FR which will cut down on the heat being transferred to the plug. The old styles typically have a pretty loose fit which will create heat build and in extreme cases, can cause melting of the plug. There won't be any of those issues with the SmartPlug, it's a better design and easier to use. The industry is starting to adapt to this style although the cost is still holding some back. There's no doubt though it works much better and is overall safer.
