In Miami, are you sure the cord isn't hot before you even plug it in ??
Second the above... True story follows, if this rig is not blown over by the wind before I finish.
When I got the motor home I modified the electrical system (Added outlets) so that I could provide emergency power to the modified house (Added generator transfer panel and inlet).
I put together a heavy duty (six ga I think) cord to run from RV to house.
I also have adapters to use this cord in other ways.... ONe of the was providing power for a Ham Radio Field Day operation.. The Generator is nice and quiet (100 feet away the operation chairman could not hear it). Well when I went to roll it up it was so hot I had to wear gloves. This is a 30 amp cord, actually that size wire is rated 50 amps but we went over size due to the length.
We were drawing perhaps 5 amps, if that.
Finally I got to the part of the cord that was under the awning. IN the shade.. That was COLD to the touch.
And now comes the rain. (Weather outside my motor home).
