RV Shore Power Hookup Repair FAQ
How much does shore power cord replacement cost?
A new 30-amp cord with installation runs $150 to $250. A 50-amp cord is $200 to $350. If the inlet box on the RV also needs replacement, add $100 to $200.
Why do shore power cords melt?
Loose connections create electrical resistance, which generates heat. Over time, the prongs or the inlet contacts deform from heat and make even looser contact, creating more heat. It's a cycle that ends in a melted plug or, in worst cases, a fire.
Can you upgrade me from 30-amp to 50-amp?
Yes. We handle the full upgrade: new cord, new inlet, new main breaker panel, and all associated wiring. It typically takes a full day and costs $800 to $1,500.
Should I use an adapter for 30-to-50 or 50-to-30?
Adapters are fine for occasional use, but they should be quality units from a reputable brand. Never use a homemade adapter or one that bypasses the ground pin.
How do I know if the campground pedestal is the problem?
If your RV works fine at home or at other campgrounds but not at one specific site, the pedestal is likely the issue. We can test pedestal voltage and amperage to confirm. Low voltage from a bad pedestal can damage your converter.
What is a transfer switch?
A transfer switch automatically routes power between shore power and your generator. When you plug into shore power, it switches from generator to shore. If the transfer switch fails, you may have shore power at the plug but nothing inside the RV.
