reply-- IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "FIRE & EMERGENCY INFO":
Does anyone realize that the electrical plug going onto your trailer can wear with age and start a fire, I didn't know this till it happened to someone I know, it was pretty scary and luckily it only burned the area around the plug, so it would be wise to check these connections periodically. Just passing on some good pre-maint. advice.


ANON-- thanks for your advice -- i agree because my plug at the service box loosens up and i lose my power-- i go out and push it back in hard then i reconnect--these plugs should be bayonet type plugs that have a more secure connection-- hopefully the new service will have such connections in the service box -- it will mean that people like me will have to change their plug to match the new bayonet receptacle--- these bayonet type plugs don't loosen up and therefore don't cause an interruption in power-- also loose connection plugs and receptacles can overheat and short out -- this is a potentially dangerous situation for people who are not aware of this

la instructions in regard to you checking your electrical service box plugs if you don't have power is rather surprising-- if some accident happens during one of these episodes i question if la may not share in the responsibility for the electrical failure or accident-- i think they are on thin ice with this situation
