Outside Plugs
Is anyone beside me aggravated by the exterior plugs are horizontal ? It puts a strain on the cord of anything plugged into them. Why can't they be vertical like all the other receptacles?

- I think the OP is referring to the 120 volt outlets on the outside of the RV that are installed with a horizontal orientation.
Click For Full-Size Image. - I think that's what OP is referring to. I just loop the extreme cord through my handle (next to the exit door) and then plug it in. Often I'll use a short cord and put a power strip in, on the picnic table. Then everything that needs to charge is happy... And outdoors
- I don't understand the issue... are you referring to 120V outlets?
- Count me confused also. What difference in strain of something plugged in with the prongs facing vertical or horizontal.
- 20/30/50A? It may be related to the type of outside weather enclosure used.

If you would use the word outlet, rather than plug, perhaps you would get a better answer.
My guess is that it is slightly easier to run the wiring and every second counts in the RV industry.- I don't think I understand your question. I don't know that I've ever seen any vertical electrical plugs, they'd be pointed at the ground. Of course I've never seen any vertical plugs in a regular house, so I'm not sure what your concern is.
