yes the connection could be loose, the voltage could be low and i would have the park staff check it out
BUT
with only 30 amps service i would be sure to put the water heater on LP, and maybe the fridge, is it a french door side by side, IF so it uses TWO heaters and at least 600w power maybe more, but it on LP

Was running A/C but I've never experienced such a hot cord. Trailer is brand new Winnebago 5th wheel. A/C unit is Dometic 15K. 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?
