I was going on 3-4 years thinking my twist lock was just fine! Well, the day came when I noticed burn/melt indications on the female end…and that was going on WHILE we were camping! No brainer. Got the Smart Plug! Easy DIY!
My RV is 11 years old and came with the 'old-fashioned' plug and cable that stores inside the trailer in a small box-like area near the outside rear of the trailer. I actually prefer this to the new version where you have a whole separate power cable that you have to find somewhere to store when traveling. I have another reason for preferring this setup but it would take up too much space to explain it.
