furrion power cable warm
Is it normal for plug that goes into power supply to get warm? Not hot, but warm. Is this indication of eventual problem issue?

- It’s a sign of some kind of extra resistance. I recommend using some contact cleaner like De-Oxite on both the plug and receptacle.
- Perhaps. What plug - A/C unit, 30A RV plug, etc? What size plug and what size circuit? Yes clean the male contacts and you may need to replace the female plug. Plugs can get warm and for a continuous load like a A/C some temperature increase is expected. You could have other issues like low voltage, etc.
- When you say "the plug that goes into the power supply" Are you talking about the plug that goes into the park outlet or do you use power supply as I do.. (Some RV's have single stage converters like the Parallex 7300 (no T) that Very close to a "power supply" for a Radio.. in fact I have a very nice 30 amp one (Different make but works the same) I use for a rather big radio)
If you mean the 30 or 50 amp plug that goes into the park

I support the "Sign of excess resistance" Current + resistance - Warmth and enough of it = meltdown
on the plug..blades nice and shiny or dark. if dark a wire brush THEN De-Oxit and De-oxit Protectant are good choices...
The outlet you can not easily wire brush (know how to do it but it's not easy and there can be a problem plus the outlet.. is not my problem.)
