As Mr Wizard correctly noted - Yes but that's something, he can not change, only report , it it will be loose at many places.
I now have a hard wire Progressive EMS but if I were still using a portable version this is why I wouldn't hang it off the power post as intended by the manufacturer but instead run an extension cable to the post and locate the EMS either outside the camper, say under the slide where it's protected from the elements, or inside the camper, as I did with my first TRC portable EMS. That way, if any plug overheating were to occur because of worn / burnt contacts at the power post it's most likely any damage would be restricted to the extension cable's male plug which can easily be replaced.
