Use DeoxIT Spray On Power Post Outlet?
When I get a RV site with a suspicious looking power post outlet, is it good to use DeoxIT D5 or DN5 spray to clean the outlet terminals? What I mean by suspicious is not broken, but old and worn. ...

As far as cleaning power goes D-100 has far and away more cleaning power. You know how much push and pull effort it takes to fit a new receptacle. If the plug droops in the receptacle I would be reluctant to use it....period. Once the metal gets annealed by too many heatings it may tolerate only 5 or so amps.
I did not ask permission from one renter when I yanked his plug at ten PM. His plug was blistering hot. My sockets were brand new. He emerged angry as hell. I gave him a choice, depart with a refund or buy a new plug and I would install it for ten dollars.
I had an inventory of 8 plugs from the US. He was not a happy camper. So the next morning at breakfast I brought his charred and broken plug to breakfast and laid it on the table. The other four campers gave him pure hell for it.
He departed right after breakfast. I was not in the business of subsidizing damage from cheapskate-stupid 'rv' owners.
USA RV parks must spend a fortune on replacement receptacles. It is equally frustrating for RV owners given a site with a destroyed receptacle.

I had a plug with a pull handle on it. Before I moved an inch from the office I would walk down to the site and check the receptacle. IIf the plug fit loosely on the tiniest bit of black came out with the disconnect it would be "Let's try another site"
