NEW, 30a plug starting to melt
Ok, I have a 2011 Hornet Hideout. We was down at the lake in a 30amp spot for about a week or maybe more. I am a 100% disabled OEF Veteran due to an IED. So when we go camping, we don't pay attention ...

Most electrical fires are created at the POOR connection .
When the male and female connectors do night fit perfectly tight heat will occur .
Hence the usage of "twistlock " type connectors for industrial usage .
The remedy of getting a 50 amp to 30 amp adapter is a good solution .
The 50 amp receptacles at the rv parks are generally less worn .
So you should have a good 50 amp connection to your adapter and a good 30 amp conection from your adapter the the male end connector of your rv cable .
