This could happen to you! Keep an eye on your RV power inlet. Be Safe
I was surprised how our 4+ year old 30 amp 125 volt power inlet interior parts pretty much disintegrated and I had to replace the whole power inlet assembly. Fortunately I was able to find a replacement power inlet that is built much better and is also made for marine use making it water tight.
You will see what I found and watch me install the new power inlet, its easy to do and takes very little time.
NOTE: it’s funny because I always make sure the cord is twisted and locked in place and the cord lock nut is tight. I’ve worked over the years with electricity ⚡ and have never had a problem with anything like this. I have seen worn connections others have shown me but never a inlet that has just crumbled like is. There wasn’t any burn marks from a bad connection either. Also I always make sure the breaker is off before connecting.
Note: Products I used and links to them are provided below.
