Over at the Daily Pose today

I have a coach here that had a ...well, AC melt down from a bad plug at an RV park. You really need to check your power coming in before hooking up.

Jim then posts a pix of a thoroughly fried shore-power cable. (down at the bottom http://www.firefightmarine.com/gmccoop/gmc-friday-but-were-still-on-wednesday/)

I keep a 120v polarity/ground checker plugged in inside the coach but I could easily develop a habit of checking the power pole BEFORE I plug in. I'd prefer a simple plug-in analyzer but to do both 50 and 30 I may have to drag out the multimeter.

A related question is whether anyone is using surge suppressors? I tend to think that's overkill and can't say I've seen any in use at the rallies I've attended so far.
