I would not have thought this such a frequent problem, but twice now, only at Indiana state parks I have found loose female receptacle in the pedestal. Each was loose enough to burn the spade on my power cord. I replaced it once, but the second time was only two stops later. Do I need to carry a dozen spare ends? I have worked some with electrical receptacles on ranges and dryers, but then I have access to the house breaker box to change out the receptacle. Can't to that here, and by the time I notice the problem (heat) it's usually too late to call the maintenance people to fix. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Don't camp in cheap, poorly maintained, shoddy campgrounds with poor electrical outlets. Sounds like your state parks are not up on current maintenance for their pedestals.
