I had my coach plugged in to a 20 amp receptacle via a 100 foot 12/3 heavy
duty extension cord most of this summer. Only draw was my Progressive
Dynamics PD 60 converter with smart module. And the Dometic 2 way fridge.
When prepping the coach for the 7 feathers rally, when I unplugged it, I
noted that the cord was warm where it plugged into the coach. I had some
difficulty unplugging the cord, and upon closer inspection, observed that
on the male plug on the coach, the prongs were black. So, I moved the coach
into the shop, and applied contact cleaner to the male plug. Let it sit for
a while, and not much change. So, I got out something stronger, battery
cable corrosion fighter. Paste stuff, apply with a brush, let it work for a
bit, then neutralize it with a mild acid solution, kinda smells like lemon
juice. That ate the corrosion. So, i looked at the cord, it was corroded as
well. Cut off the cord, and replaced it with a heavy duty female end. After
a day or two, the male cord is now cool. Aparrently, the corrosion has a
certain amount of resistance. Not a good thing in my book. So, keep a
watchful eye on those connections. Keep em clean, bright, and shiny, as
well as dry.
