They recommended an RV supply store nearby for that. Well, that little place did not have a new box either, he took one look at my old outlet with the scorch/melt mark and advised me to get an electrician saying that there must be another issue that caused that.
What would your thought be, considering what I told you.

Go to a different store and get a box that fits. The burnt wire was caused by a loose connection. Try an electric supply house.
