I have posted about this before, because I have had issues with the 50 amp plug connections either loosening or corroding.
It’s a quick little project. Unplug the coach from the pedestal and take the screws off the plug cover. Inspect and tighten the fittings that capture the wires. Look for signs of corrosion or arcing. Just to be very clear, I am talking about the plug on the coach cord, and NOT the pedestal. I do not advocate poking around in the pedestal.
It’s summer, and bad wire connections at your plug drop the voltage and increase the amperage on your air conditioner compressors if you believe Ohm’s law. That is not good for the longevity of the AC unit.
