That's why it was so hard to get the plugs apart. It didn't hurt the camper plug at all.

Put dielectric on your prong end and in the socket, It will help water proof it and creates a better connection. I always put some on my prongs before I plug in. The picture shows overheating from either a loose connection or water penetration. It also helps like butter to pull them apart. That is what it is made for.....
Did you buy that extension at Wally World? They sell complete garbage but you get what you pay for. Get a Camco 30 amp extension. That is an end off an extension cord correct 30 amp?
