🔌 ParkPower 301ELRV: White Power Inlet with Stainless Steel Trim - Efficient and Reliable 30A Solution Review

Easy upgrade of my shore power connection by converting the 'mouse door' to this type of connection. This seller is amazing, entry came early and most importantly a good fair price!

This is a great and durable 30 amp inlet. The brand is branded "Park Power" but is a Marinco product. The access door snaps into place to move and the hinge stays open during use. Installation is easy with marine grade 10/3 triplex wire. Attached is a photo of the installation instructions.

I built my own caravan and bought this socket for onboard power. I used #8 AWG stranded wire for the installation and the terminals on the back of the outlet accepted this 8 gauge wire very well. No problem connecting the 8/3 wire. Although a 30 amp outlet only needs 10 gauge wire to handle a 30 amp load, I increased the wire gauge to compensate for potential voltage drop issues. I believe a 2-1/8" hole saw was sufficient for the installation. I used 1/8" rivets to install the outlet into the…

Park Power is a line of products by Marinco. It is the premier shoreline brand for RV and marine vessels. After some research into options for a new power connector and cord, Park Power (Marinco) turned out to be the best. My previous caravan with a 30 amp coaster had a catastrophic failure when the cord was plugged into the socket on the side of the caravan. I strongly suspect that there was a power surge at the park that caused the female side of the cord to fuse with the male side of the…
