Smart OEMs are constantly looking for products and features that provide them with a competitive edge and encourage sales of boats. The shore power solution from SmartPlug Systems is available in 30A 125V or 50A 125/250V. These plug-and-play components have a great cost-benefit ratio for both production and custom boatbuilders, as well as for equipment manufacturers using electrical connection components. This is a perfect standard or optional upgrade to any vessel. Especially for new boat buyers, shore power equipment can be intimidating. The SmartPlug is a safer, simpler, and more secure solution than traditional twist-type L5-30 AC connectors. Even experienced owners instantly see the benefits of the unique system. The SmartPlug has a pin and clip design that provides over 27 times more metal-to-metal contact to lessen electrical resistance and overheating. This not only makes it safer than other designs, but it reduces the chances of electrical system overload. Because the IP56-rated orange ergonomic connector is asymmetrical and pushes straight in with self-locking features, the device is more secure and easier to use. The top of the connector is integrated with LED lights that alert the user if the pedestal is improperly wired in a reverse polarity condition. For OEMs with designated shore power locations, the SmartPlug uses industry standard sizing and hole spacing for a pain-free conversion. Internal electronics are fully encased in thermal epoxy to make them 100% weatherproof. The inlet is available in 316 stainless steel or white, gray, or black polymer that are heat and UV-resistant. Matching ELCI and phone/TV/data port inlets are available. Tinned-wire Superflex cordsets are available in 25′ and 50′ lengths. As the needs of the marine industry evolve, SmartPlug Systems responds. The company works with manufacturers that require component-specific startup power rather than relying on batteries or gensets. It has even recently partnered with Eaton on new state-of-the-art marina pedestals. SmartPlug System products are made in the USA. Last year, the company expanded its manufacturing space by 40% to maintain production capacity. It holds Canadian CSA, Europe CE, Intertek ETL, and US ETL certifications.

The Ultimate Guide to Traveling in an RV and Child Safety
The Ultimate Guide to Traveling in an RV and Child Safety SmartPlug October 10, 2022 8:34 pm RV travel with your family is a terrific way to spend quality time together. In this blog we’ll discuss how to travel safely with children Traveling in an RV with your family is a terrific way to spend quality time together. You get to experience the beautiful outdoors along with everything our country has to offer! There’s no need for Incessant packing and unpacking Hotel transfers… And cramming everyone into tiny spaces for extended periods… Best of all, you create an environment where everyone feels at home! That said, it’s crucial to keep the safety of your children in mind before you begin your adventures together. Here are Important Things to Look Out for When Traveling with Children Choose a Safe RV The Child Passenger Safety Technicians and Instructors (CPSTs) recommend that families choose a non-motorized/tow-able RV (fifth-wheel, trailer, tent trailer, truck camper) when traveling with children. These are either towed by a passenger vehicle or transported on a pick-up truck. It allows your kids to travel along with you in a passenger vehicle that complies with Federal occupant safety regulations. Plus, you can efficiently set up child restraint devices without worry. If you decide to use a motorized RV (Class A, B, or C), it’s important to know that they’re not required to have rear occupant crash testing. Nor do they meet federal seat belt standards for rear seating. This brings us to the next point. Car Seat Installations Car seats and booster seats are only permitted in forward-facing seats in cars equipped with a federally authorized seat belt or car seat (lower anchor). Still, there are general safety considerations (suggested by experienced CPSTs) that you should be aware of to proceed safely: Pull Test – you need to confirm with the manufacturers that all forward-facing seats have been pull tested to ensure they can manage the load on the belt. Confirm that all of the seats were installed the same way. Even if the rear- and side-facing seats weren’t pull tested. Their impacts may differ, but it gives you some idea of how the seats were installed. All seat belts should be anchored to metal, not just to the wood floor. If the belts are anchored to wood, they may not be structurally sound and may not bear load in the event of a crash. Locking lap belts in every seat. No slide-outs, as they make the entire vehicle less structurally sound in the event of a crash. Preferably at least a couple of anchor points for forward-facing car seats. Also, while strapping your car seat to a seat — whether in a passenger car or an RV — make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. In general, child safety seats should not be utilized in a side-facing seat or any seat that may pivot or swivel. And finally: Ensure Normal Home Safety Driving on the road can be dangerous. So, while in transit, ensure that heavy items are never placed on top cabinets. If they fall during movement, they become projectiles that may seriously harm you or your child. If there’s a baby on board, DO NOT place anything in the cabinets above the baby. Install baby locks on the cabinet doors as an extra precaution. Also, make sure your RV has a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide detector. Install propane or natural gas detector if your RV runs on propane. And of course…have a fire extinguisher on hand in case of an emergency. Finally, before hitting the road ensure the wiring for your RV has been set up properly. Be triple sure that the power cord connecting your RV to a campground’s electricity supply is in good condition. To ensure that this is always the case be sure that you consider using SmartPlug. SmartPlug is a safe, simple and secure way to connect your RV to any shore power supply without worry of overheating or fire. It has 27x the metal contact area than the regular twist-type cords you commonly see. The problem is that these twist-type cords easily get corroded, can’t manage heat as well, and have been the culprits of some boat and RV fires. For the safety of your family, this is the kind of technology we ask you to avoid. Instead, utilize SmartPlug power cords and inlets. We’ve designed them so they’re easy to install, connect, and remain secure during charge. You no longer have to worry about a loose connection that could cause electrical problems for you and your family. Safely enjoy RV adventures with your family – always use SmartPlug!

Summer RV Vacation Spots for Retirees: Best Parks and Destinations
Summer RV Vacation Spots for Retirees: Best Parks and Destinations SmartPlug July 12, 2022 6:00 am Looking for the best summer RV vacation spots for retirees? If so, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve compiled a great list of ideas. Looking for the best summer RV vacation spots for retirees? If so, you’ve come to the right place! In this blog post, we’ll discuss some of the best parks and destinations for RV enthusiast retirees. From coast to coast, we’ve compiled a great list of ideas! So, sit back, relax, and get ready to plan your next amazing RV vacation! Maine – The first stop on our list is the beautiful state of Maine. Known for its stunning coastline and gorgeous scenery, Maine is a popular summer destination for RVers of all ages. Many retirement-age travelers appreciate the northern geography for the mild summer temperatures. If you love to fish, hike, or just enjoy being outdoors, then Maine is the perfect spot for you. One of the best places to visit in Maine is the Acadia National Park, a favorite spot for many campers and one of the top 10 most-visited national parks in the United States. With its rocky beaches, lush forests, and towering mountains, Acadia is a nature lover’s paradise. Acadia offers a few options for campgrounds, however, all campsite reservations must be made in advance on the park’s campground pages – there are no same-day reservations and no campsites are available for request upon arrival. Additionally, all campsites must be reserved in advance within a 60-day rolling window. Florida – If you are looking for a more laid-back RV vacation spot, then head south to Florida. The Sunshine State is home to some of the best RV parks in the country. From world-famous beaches to quaint small towns, Florida has something for everyone. For a relaxing and refreshing experience, retirees should consider a visit to a Florida spring. One of the top-rated is Rainbow Springs State Park centrally located west of Ocala – the state’s fourth-largest freshwater spring is popular for camping, swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. The RV loops can fit some longer RVs and the sites all have picnic tables, fire rings, and trees for privacy. Also included is a boat launch area and boat parking. We also recommend a tropical getaway to the Florida Keys. Want to wake up to a beautiful ocean sunrise every morning and take in some of the best sunsets Florida has to offer? Book your trip to Boyd’s Key West Campground. This waterfront Key West RV Park gives you access to a private beach and fishing pier and they host weekly events perfect for meeting other RVers and retirees like yourselves. The most sought-after RV Park and Campground in Key West with 263 RV sites, Boyd’s includes a pool, laundry and shower amenities, and more. Bring your furry friends along and enjoy camping island style. California – For retirees who want to explore the west coast, California is the perfect RV destination. From the towering mountains of the Sierra Nevada to the sunny beaches of the Pacific Coast, California has it all. And, of course, no trip to California would be complete without a visit to Yosemite National Park. With its massive sequoia trees and breathtaking waterfalls, Yosemite is certainly one of the most beautiful places on earth. National parks are extremely popular attractions for avid RV’ers, and Yosemite tops almost everyone’s bucket list. A reservation is required to drive into Yosemite National Park during peak hours (6 am – 4 pm) from May 20 through September 30, 2022. Reservations are required and if you intend to stay overnight, you must make reservations in advance – same-day campground reservations are not available in the park. South Dakota – Like Yosemite, Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota has been a traditional stop on the RV travel circuit. Cross it off your RV travel bucket list this summer and take in the majestic figures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Surrounded by the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota, you’ll appreciate the scenic drive. Reservations are not required to visit the memorial and there’s ample RV parking. While in South Dakota, take in the beauty of nature at Custer State Park, a 71,000-acre wildlife preserve with campgrounds, plenty of outdoor activities, and more. Drive through the park for an up-close and personal encounter with the animals or venture down nearby Needles Highway, but do your research first to see if your RV will fit through the few tunnels found along this 14-mile stretch of road. Alaska – From whale watching to glacier tours, Alaska offers several activities that simply can’t be done in most of the lower 48 states. Retirees make the RV trek to Alaska in the summertime for the scenic drives – for many people, driving the Alaska Highway is an RV travel goal! As you travel the Alaska Highway, check out Fairbanks’ Chena Hot Springs and the Northern Lights. Visit Valdez for some of the most breathtaking views of the state and stop at Solomon Gulch to watch sea lions, otters, bald eagles, and grizzly bears feast on salmon. Retirees will also enjoy Alaska’s largest city, Anchorage, for its downtown area with museums, trolley tours, and more. There are several RV-friendly parking lots near the Downtown area, so you can easily spend the day in town. You’ll find a few RV campgrounds close to town, and others on the outskirts for more of a wilderness vibe. Visit Alaska.org for a list of RV campground options. So, there you have it! These are just a few of the MANY amazing summer RV vacation spots for retirees. No matter where you go, you are sure to have an incredible adventure. As a retiree, be sure to carve out time for exploration, exercise, and relaxation. Do you have a favorite summer RV spot that we didn’t mention? We’d love to hear about it in the comments below! Always travel safely with SmartPlug’s shore power system. Contact us at 206-285-2990 for any questions on what solution is best for your

SmartPlug Marine Cordsets Use Tinned Copper Wire for Ultimate Protection Against Corrosion
SmartPlug Marine Cordsets Use Tinned Copper Wire for Ultimate Protection Against Corrosion SmartPlug June 6, 2022 2:37 pm Our SmartPlug cordsets use Tinned Copper Wire for ultimate protection against corrosion. Tinned copper wire can last up to 10 TIMES as long. Did You Know?! Our SmartPlug marine cordsets use Tinned Copper Wire for ultimate protection against corrosion. Just as conductive as bare copper wire, tinned copper wire can last up to 10 TIMES as long. We’ll further explore why copper is tinned for marine product use, the benefits, as well as some interesting facts. What is Tinned Copper? Essentially, tinned copper is copper coated by a base alloy such as solder better known as tin. Copper is desirable due to its durability and being lightweight. Yet, its main drawback is the fact it’s highly susceptible to corrosion. This is where tinning comes into play. Tinning copper strengthens the copper’s natural properties, making it better equipped to withstand the environmental elements. How it Works – When you apply a thin coating of tin to bare copper wire, either by dipping the copper in molten metal or by using an electric current to bind the tin to the copper, you create what is known as tinned copper wire. Tinned copper wire is particularly useful in marine products like SmartPlug and projects where the tin coat makes the wire more resistant to water. Industrial cranes and subways for example also use tinned wire in their operations. The Benefits of Tinned Copper Wire Include: Resists Humidity Handles High Temperatures Withstands Environmental Elements The Tin protects the copper wire from tarnishing or becoming oxidized. When copper is oxidized, it turns green. Think of a penny or the most famous example, the Statue of Liberty. What causes it to turn green you ask? It’s a chemical reaction of the metal surface with the oxygen present in the air that causes some of the metal to corrode or oxidize. Here at SmartPlug, we use only the BEST in marine-grade quality materials to optimally protect your boat. Discover more about the benefits of tinned copper wire by contacting our team of experts at 206-285-2990.
