Our motorhome's WFCO 8955 power center has instructions for periodically retorquing all connections with a torque screwdriver, to their specifications (printed on the back of the panel cover).
Is there a similar preventive maintenance philosophy for the remainder of the 120VAC circuit connections, especially with the outlets (including stab outlets).
Re: hardwiring, just cut the plug off the HWH, remove the stab outlet and connect directly to wires? Maybe cover with a plate? I've heard plusses and minuses on the WAGO connectors, you feel they're safe and sturdy?
The WAGO connectors are great. But there’s a lot of imported look-alike junk out there, so stick with actual WAGO brand products and you should be good.
you should do an article on properly replacing a bad "stab" outlet.
That’s a great idea. I’ll put it on my to-do list…
I agree! There are a couple I'd like to replace, but not sure how to do it.

I can't figure out how to email you pics of a 50 amp connector into shore power melt down. Can't seem to attach pic here.
Please email it to me at mike@noshockzone.org
