2oldman: Yes, I did read and understand the OP's post. Possibly you have missed my point so please allow me to explain. Notice my use of the word "If" in my initial post. The damage you see on the plug provided in the OP's pictures was most likely caused by a bad female receptacle. If you replace the plug and then plug it into another bad receptacle, you will have the same issue again, shortly. So, why not educate yourself, increase your awareness, and "fix the problem" IF you can. This is potentially a serious fire hazard. In order to connect to the onboard genny, some (not all) 30 amp plugs (like mine) must be plugged into the onboard basement genny outlet when it's not plugged into a park pedestal. Repeat after me, "This could cause a serious fire hazard which could burn my RV (and potentially you or me) to the ground." Is the fog lifting yet? I hope so. :-)
