Can I replace a 30A plug with a 50A?
I find that about once a year or so, I need to replace the plug on my shore cable. The hot leg of the plug gets hot over time and melts the plug can causes it to fail. The big difference that I see...

There are cheap inferior Chinese knock off 30A plugs and then there are heavy duty 30A plugs, just shop around. Check your local electrical distributor for a good plug. The RV stores sell nothing but junk today.
NO, there is to much of a chance that you will fry your RV by installing a plug that could be configured for 50A, to even consider going that route.
I'm gonna side the the Texan on this one (also because I'm from Marlin and even some Texans need to look that town up) and because my plug has never gotten hot once on my 9 year old rig. Either you've got a problem somewhere else, or you've got cheap China junk for a plug.
