The 50A power cord connector which came with the Winnebago fits tightly in the power source - that is good.However it does not have a handle to assist removal and is difficult to remove.I was wondering if using dielectric grease on the contacts would help and is advisable.I suspect I would need to clean the contacts between uses.

There's add-on handle / strap devices for those power cords, that fit over the face of the plug and wrap around it. I don't know what they're called or I would share a link.Another option is to cut off the junky plug that has no handle and replace it with a nice one from Camco with a big molded grip

I really like this small spray can, home depot or order online.http://www.homedepot.com/p/CRC-2-26-5-oz-Multi-Purpose-Lubricant-02004/100398344

Here is a product that makes it easier.Plug dog 50Adding electrical grease will help the connection and removal. It will protect the contact area. Should be no reason to clean it off. Suggest using an old sock to cover cord body while removed so grease doesn't get everywhere.

Very easy to replace the end of your cord with one of these.
