Shore power cord stuck
Can't get my shore power cord to unplug from 5th wheel?

While twisting, tap the cord plastic housing with the back of a screwdriver. Not hard, just enough to break free any debris or electrical 'weld'.
Power should be off at shorepower breaker. Be advised, you could break the plastic end, so consider this emergency procedure, not SOP.
If you can remove it successfully and the electrical connection is ok, you can clean out and lubricate the twist lock channels with a little vaseline. It will lubeand help prevent moisture and bugs/debris from getting in the grooves.
There are other things to lube with that aren'tas sticky, but you only need a dab or two.
Oh, and try pushing in a bit while turning...COUNTERclockwise, right? :-)
