Location: Gaylord, Kansas | I have a trailer with a 30 amp plug in, push in twist has a ring to screw to hold in place. I had a problem at the last show when I connected to electrical box. Every time I plugged into the box it tripped the breaker. Electrician looked at, a wire had came loose from one of the prongs on the connector at my trailer. His comments were these types are a piece of junk. Went to a show this past weekend, it has happened again. Anyone have suggestions, what type you have, etc.. open to any suggestions,, this is a real pain, to not know when you are going to have electricity or not... |

Location: Northern Utah | I'm not sure what you are talking about with a screw ring on a 30 amp plug. This is a standard 30 amp twist plug. http://www.toolking.com/cooper-wiring-l530p-30-amp-twistlock-ground-3-wire-plug?CAWELAID=1410718127&catargetid=1436452153&cagpspn=pla&gclid=COyIjeao3LMCFeGDQgodORAAgg Most RV's just use a standard 3 prog plug that doesn't twist http://www.rvwholesalers.com/catalog/15ft-30amp-rv-ext-cord-ezee-gr-19-0548.html?gclid=CKaJ3qap3LMCFeGDQgodORAAgg |

Location: Gaylord, Kansas | Yes this is the type of plug, the connection on the trailer is a female end. white box with a trap door you lift to plug into. |

Location: Vermont | You have a short...my recommendation is a new landline which is the easiest replacement...if that doesn't work the next step is to replace the outlet on the side of the trailer
