Before your mind begins to wander, let us clarify. By “safe” we, of course, mean practicing safe boating and RVing! Queue SmartPlug… Smart Plug’s 4-Stage solution protects against overheating–the #1 cause of shower power failure and fires. Loose connections are addressed by a sleeve design and a multi-point locking system which take all the physical stress off the pins while securely fastening the plug to receptacle. Pin contact area is increased by more than 20x and protected behind three weatherproof seals for a dry and corrosion-free connection.

Introducing the NEW 50A Cordset from SmartPlug | Boat Parts And Accessories

Image
  We’re excited to launch the newest product to our lineup – the SUPERFLEX50 50A 125/250V. While most power cords become stiff in extreme weather conditions, this revolutionary product remains incredibly flexible in extremely hot conditions and even down to –58° F. SUPERFLEX50’s covering is made from supple 100% Seoprene® Thermoplastic Elastomer. Inside is pure stranded bare copper and #6 wire.

Triple waterproof seals ensure a dry connection and protect internal elements from contaminates...

Upgrading Power Connection is a Simple 30- Minute Job | Electrical Equipment

Image
  With milder temperatures approaching, many RVers are upgrading their motorhomes, buses, campers, and expedition vans.  One simple 30-minute DIY project is replacing traditional-type AC power connectors with a state-of-the-art SmartPlug Combo Kit. Not only will the rig’s power be more efficient and reliable, but the RV will be far safer. Since it was invented 80 years ago, the twist-type power connector hasn’t changed much. It still relies on thin blades that corrode and easily bend, and an annoying “L” shape that must be aligned just right. The pioneering SmartPlug is different. It has a robust pin and clip design that delivers 27 times more metal-to-metal contact than its predecessor. This provides greater protection against high resistance, overheating, and arcing, some of the leading causes of failure. Plus, it pushes straight in and secures with dual side locks, instead of the old-fashioned ring that never seems to thread correctly. Installing a SmartPlug doesn’t require...

Tips for Working from Your RV | Boat Parts And Accessories

Image
  While working from an RV isn’t a new idea, it has become increasingly popular over the last year as workplaces were forced to go remote. If you’re planning on working from the road, check out our tips to make the process a smooth one: Get Organized:  Do you have a designated desk space where you can set up? In order to be productive, you’ll want to ensure you have an area dedicated to your work. You’ll need room to sit comfortably, set up your computer, and a place with bright lighting where distractions will be minimal. Before diving in, set yourself up for success and create a space to help you accomplish your tasks. Set Realistic Expectations:  It’s important to be realistic of your bandwidth. If you will be on the road traveling, it’s likely you will be tired. On those days, be realistic and understand you won’t accomplish as much work as you’d like. Find a routine that works for your work schedule and plan ahead so that you can not only meet your expectations, but ...

Reverse Polarity Indicator Lights on all SmartPlug RV Cordsets | Cordset

Image
As of July 1, 2021, SmartPlug is implementing a reverse polarity feature in all RV Cordsets. This feature will include a series of light codes that will let the consumer know the condition of the power coming from the campsite power pedestal (see images below). Reverse polarity is a safety concern and can damage  electrical components on the Coach or trailer. This unsafe condition exists when the power coming from the pedestal is improperly wired. The issue has become enough of a concern that the New 2020 NFPA 70 National Electrical Code introduced language in the RV STD Article 551 to include a new section 551.40(D). This addition requires a reverse polarity device on all new recreational vehicles (The complete definition can be found in the 2020 NFPA 70 Standard).   Ensure that you always travel safe with SmartPlug! Not only are our cordsets weatherproof and easy to use, they will ensure your family can safely enjoy your next adventure! Get Know more :  RV Pow...
