Replacing 30amp male plug
The male end of my 30amp plug is kinda Burnt from being plugged into a 110 extension. It looks like replacing the male end of cord is pretty straight forward. Any precautions I should take first? I'm...

I have two spare male plugs and honestly, I don't like either one. One looks like that Leviton linked above.
I think the wires should be clamped by the screws, not just tightened under a screw head. The Leviton and the other spare have just screws. So, I don't want to use those if I can avoid it. I'm interested in the CAMCO plugs. From what I can tell, at least one of their plugs uses clamping. But it doesn't seem every one they offer is made that way. Would rather get the larger one, if it's the only one that clamps, and cut the handle off if it won't go through the "mouse hole."
Yes the camco clamps down. I used the 830 because that was all I could get at the time. Ordered the Camco on the net. I used a 50 to a 30 bone and still had it go bad where the 30 plugs in. I use dielectric on my pins where I plug into the C/G's outlet. When plug went bad at son's house I replaced both outlet and male plug.
