There isn't much you can do about this but here are a few thoughts:
If you have a 30A RV and can plug into 50A, use a "dog bone" adapter and do so. The 30A receptacles in many parks are worn out while the 50A receptacles are generally tighter and over built for only a 30A rig.
If you have a 50A RV there's not a lot you can do. When either a 30A or 50A plug (male side) is damaged, just replace the end, not the whole cord. Much cheaper and you may actually get a better connection than off-shore factories employ on the plug that came with your new cord.
Camco replacement plugs have very good internal connections and are relatively cheap.
I probably could of fixed my last plug . I never thought of that and just threw it away . Thanks though !!!!
