I use a snap lid plastic box somewhat weather tight around this connection between the Shore Power cable and the Extension Cord coming from the House/Garage connection.Ī sparking connection won't cause a surge in the RV, but a brownout and generally noisy AC. I also do not allow my RV30A-15A Adapter to lay on the wet ground. If you was using the smaller gauge cables that is most likely why they failed. I use two 50-foot contractor grade 10-gauge (10-3) Extension Cords. I have two cables run across the yard all the time for my two RV trailers and I feel the connections everytime I am around them. To be sure the connections between the house and trailer are good one should check them by hand after a few minutes of using them to see if the connections are starting to get warm to hot. Once the smaller gauge cords get hot they start arcing over at the terminals and eventually melts the connectors. The RED-ORANGE type cords from WALMART are probably 16 gauge size wire. You could get away with a 12-gauge size extension cord but no way any smaller gauge cords can be used especially if they are 50-foot long. They should be 10 gauge (10-3) HD extension cords. The only thing that crosses my mind is what gauge wire was the extension cord from the RV30A to 15A adapter to the house/garage 120VAC 15/20AMP receptacle. Is it possible that the power surge fried the converter? Or is there something else to check? I appreciate any assistance! I have checked the converter and all of the fuses are fine. I replaced the extension cord and adapter, however, now my 12v battery will not recharge and the 12v lights of course will not work because the battery is dead. The adapter was melted as was the extension cord, however, the RV plug was fine. I immediately unplugged the extension cord from the house and inspected the plugs and adapter. Everything was fine for several months, however, I walked out and found, during the rain, the cord and plug sparking. I had my 5th wheel plugged into a shore line (home) and used a plug adapter to connect my extension cord to the RV electrical plug. Front cover window allows for a quick visual check of the fuse LED lights.First of all, I'm new here and I appreciate any assistance. Eleven-branch DC circuits are available with LED lights for each DC circuit to illuminate and identify open circuits. They can accommodate a 30 Ampere main AC circuit breaker and up to five branch circuits.
