can't wait to hear what you come up with!
I went to two big box home improvement stores, and I was not impressed with their 50 amp cord end plugs. one pass and seymore, and a leviton. they were just flimsy looking. mostly made for range hood, but universal for our application as well. I am going to go talk to my industrial electrical supplier, they love when a low voltage guy comes in asking about that stuff.
I was looking for epoxies, and I need to go over to my warehouse to get the epoxy out of buried splice stuff. but I did check a versachem plastic epoxy I had in my garage I got from auto store, and the spec sheet says do not use on copper. so that one is out.
I do like that camco plug shape. so what I am hoping to do, is to solder the wires to the blades. that will hopefully fix the wires coming loose from those. and do the shrink wrap on the cable to help the stain relief. then fill it with epoxy. then I should really have a "molded" type factory cord.
will see what I come up with for some more industrial plug.
