Running A/C in parked RV all summer
Due to situations beyond my control, I am forced to spend most of the summer at my home in Yuma this year. I don't have [nor do I want] an RV garage and so it is exposed to sun and considerable heat....

I'm in full agreement with J-D. Check your 30 amp contacts thoroughly and make very sure that they are very tight. A loose 30Amp contact soon heats up and darkens. Slowly over time, that causes an increase in resistance which causes heat which ruins the power head as it melts.
It may be even with tight connections, the amount of run time for your A/C in Yuma over the summer will ruin the head so might as well get a spare from Home Depot or Lowe's or your neighborhood Ace Hardware so you have it on hand. I always carried an extra and they came in handy.
I'd certainly check the power cord head every morning or late afternoon when it's cool enough to work on if necessary. About all you can do is wire brush the main contact on the head.
