I want to make up a new 50 am cord for our
82FC. Does any one know the NEMA number for the female plug? The current one
is so worn that the numbers cannot be read.

I agree with Don. If you are rebuilding the shore cable anyway, replace the
male connecter and go with the 4-pin system. If they still make the old style connector, here is the complete information (now that it is daylight and NOT snowing!) off my 50 connectors: Arrow-Harting Hart-Lock Made in USA U/L Listed 947B Connector 50A 250VAC Bob Griesel '84 FC31 WLII WA --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Donald Watson" > > Chuck, > > I thought it was NEMA L6-50, but when I just looked it up, the L6 > configuration now lacks neutral.
