Deadly RV receptacles may be installed in your RV. I would suggest replacing any receptacle outlets that carry a heavy load with a better quality receptacle.
The one that melted in this video was a Pass & Seymour Self Contained Dual Black Wall Plug Outlets 15A-125V Please invest in more smoke detectors you cant have to many

Great job Kevin. You shed a lot of light on the issues. Keep up the good work.

Yet more priceless information. Thank you

Another fix in the books. 👍 Considering what you pay for an RV you would think they would use better electrical connectors.

I’m going to add smoke detectors in those areas and check my outlets. Thankyou for the suggestions

Ones by the table have a face plate built in. Those ones with a push in wire are bad

I too found my fridge on a rv quick type dangerous receptacle (ground and neutral shorted) i trashed frig and got dometic cooler. But I used a gfi type outlet and cooler sometimes trips gfi when it's compressor kicks on. So I have to delete gfi receptical for the type you used.

Looks good Kevin! I have one of those cheap push on outlets in my bathroom and I want to replace it with a good one but it doesn’t screw into the wall it has those two screws at 11 o clock and 5 o clock that has tabs on the back that just sandwich the outlet to the wall… I wonder if they make a good outlet that is not the push on but has those tabs to attach to the wall… I also run my ceramic heater on low and it draws about 7 amps but sure saves on propane!

Note a Norcold 1200 can pull 660 watts of power just like a small electric heater would on a low setting

I noticed that with my old 92 Winnie. Sad to know the the RV industry is still using those type of electrical box connections. Obviously not UL or CSA approved. They should be regulated a lot better for consumer protection
