in the past 14 months i have had to replace the 30A plug that plugs into the rv parks box at least 3 times because 1 of the prongs overheats and melts my plug. need ideas on what might be the cause

Always at same park (and pedestal)?
Happening at many different campgrounds? - (etc.)
Help out to determine if it's your problem - or theirs!
The 30amp pedestal connection is the most frequently used at parks, and often is not regularly replaced. The slots get "sloppy" and loose from usage over time. (often *years* of use!)
An easy solution is to use the 50amp pedestal outlet (assuming the pedestal has one) with a 50 to 30 amp adapter for a better connection.
