Keeping RV Electrical Department Clean



Advertise


When you plug your RV power cord in at a hookup, the cord will most likely be touching the ground and exposed to all kinds of elements. When it's time to move on, you pull the cord in and place it back in your electrical compartment along with everything it picked up with it. Dirt, dust, leaves, water, maybe even a bug or two, all get put inside your RV and travel down the road with you to the next stop. Your hands also get dirty when you both take it out and put it away.

One way of minimizing this problem is to recylce an old sock or rag in the compartment. You can then run the cord through the cloth as you put it away, keeping both your hands and the compartment clean. If you place the end of the power cord on or in the (dry, not wet) cloth material, it will make an easy way of finding it on your next hookup in the dark. Just grab for the white clump of cloth and you have the end of your power cord.

Do you have any other tips for keeping your compartment and power cord clean?
