TWL: Shore-Power Cords that "burn-through" rather quickly.....

    Edward,

    It is likely that the outlet you are plugging into is defective with prior
    arcing damage. The arcing (due to inadequate contact) creates heat.
    Continued use will only ruin other plugs. Get the outlet changed and keep
    it from corroding with electrical contact cleaner and something like
    Boeshield. This is a common problem.

    Good luck,

    Bob Lowe

    I've already gone through a couple, the first I thought was just old,
    the second I returned to the store as "defective" (it only lasted about
    6 months).
    I've been at two different shore hook-ups now and the new one is
    starting to exhibit the same damage.
    The damage: the positive male end looks burnt around the edges where it
    meets the rubber.

    Any clues as to what's going on?
