Look or feel for cracks, splits, or weaping liquids on the underside of the hose Ensure all lights onboard are operating correctly Inspect safety equipment: smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, first aid kit, USCG Kit and floatation devices After-Launch Inspection Inspect cooling system to make sure it’s operating properly Monitor engine temperature ...

SmartPlug Makes RV Air Conditioning Safer | smart plug extension cord

Image
Once considered a luxury, air conditioning is now commonplace in RVs. Whether it’s a motor-home’s duct system, rooftop unit on a trailer or portable model cooling a pod, they’re invariably plugged into shore power. Their massive, spiking power draws place a serious burden on outdated, twist-type connectors that can overheat Safety-minded RVers are increasingly replacing these devices with the state-of-the-art SmartPlug. It’s the singular upgrade that provides the peace-of-mind needed to thoroughly enjoy a cool night’s rest. The original shore power connector was designed in the 1930s, back when the electric fan reigned supreme. And while it served RVers well, its design has serious limitations, namely, thin curved metal blades. The innovative SmartPlug, in contrast, utilizes a thick pin and clip that provide 20 times the metal-to-metal contact. It’s this increase in connectivity that lessens the resistance that is a leading cause of overheating and resultant fire. Instead ...

Discover How to Make Plug-In Heaters Safer with SmartPlug | RV Extension Cords

Image
If you’re an avid RVer and enjoy an adventure in cooler temperatures, you’ve likely turned to plug-in heaters to add some extra warmth to your ride. Portable heaters are the perfect solution to keep yourself warm in the cold weather but come with an increase in amperage loads that must have a strong electrical system to maintain it. If your system isn’t as strong as can be, SmartPlug is here to help! Our revolutionary design identifies and handles any safety hazard in a shore power system, and offers ways to avoid overheating and the possibility of fire. While using these plug-in heaters, it is important to keep your eyes open for scorching. This is visibly noticeable when a yellow or brown color is outlining the inlet pins, which means it is time to replace them. Using a traditional twist-type connector allows for a higher chance of pitting and corrosion on metal surfaces. Due to the lack of surface contact, electrical resistance causes overheating, most commonly found whe...

It’s important to always keep a close eye on the condition of your connections and to take the necessary safety precautions. Do A Safety Check Often It’s time to update and replace your electrical connection if you notice any of the following: Signs of Melting or Discoloration Don’t ignore any signs of burning or melting. This is a red flag something is overheating and needs to be addressed before it leads to fire. Be sure to inspect your inlet and plug, as well as the inlet on the dock. Corrosion Have you ever dropped your shore power cord into the water, shook it off, then plugged in any way? We’ve likely all done it at one point As the water dries out, salt crystals remain and cause corrosion. Corrosion in the electrical circuit will lead to overheating and potentially fire. Loose Connections It’s imperative to maintai...
