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.

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 when running high-amperage devices such as heaters.<\/p><p>To safeguard against the chance of harmful shore power damage, we offer numerous Retrofit Kits. The SmartPlug Stainless Inlet is easily retrofitted to the existing four-hole pattern of the traditional twist-type inlet. With our easy-to-use design, we bring 20 times the metal-to-metal surface contact in order to transfer the maximum electrical power efficiently.<\/p><p>Our goal is to make your RV electrical connection stress-free and secure.
