Thanks Mike. I believe that the weight of the surge protector also plays part in slightly pulling it out of the outlet. I always look for a way to take the weight off it by using some cord to tie it up or something to prop it up. We own a lot in South Carolina that I rent out when not using, first thing I did when we bought it was replace all receptacles, breakers, clean all contact surfaces inside of the box and meter base, and replaced all wiring from my side of the meter. Facilities manager thought I was nuts until I showed him how loose some of the wiring was from years of heating and cooling.

The latest surge protectors from Southwire claim to have overheat protection for the plug/receptacle. Might make for an interesting test as this cooked plug thing is a regular topic on RV forums.
