Please reference any codes or NEC your statement that an RV 30 amp PLUG and 30 POWER CORD is only rated at 25 amp continuous. We are talking RV wiring, not regular home circuits.

I have seen and heard it on various forums, but NEVER from an expert, just posters that heard of this from other sources. Doug
