Very hot power cord with A/C on??

Is is normal for the power cord to get rather hot to the touch? As an afterthought guess is it possible the connection at the RV sites outlet was poor causing high resistance and thus heat at the connector?

It's normal when as you said, the connection is poor. I think many of us have experienced melting plug. It teaches you to always check for heat at the plug when running high wattage appliances. Sometimes you have to cut back your usage, like not running the WH at the same time.
