for other's future reference, there was a discussion going on about the dangers of making a bootleg plug.....replacing a twistlock connection for the service drop into an RV that had failed, with an outlet on the side of the RV, and a male to male extension cord for the drop cable to the post.
I was very lucky years ago with something similar....very lucky.
Oh well....Be safe out there.

Yea, I had originally made a male to male to run a cable from a portable generator to a dryer plug to deal with a forecast major ice storm (which I wound up not using and it turned out to not be as forecast).
A few days later when checking to see if it was safe in terms of the house wiring and all that, I start reading about the dangers of the male/male plug which is obvious when you think about it, but I had never stopped to think about it.
