After getting home last Saturday during the freak NE October snowstorm, I went to hook up my power cable and *SNAP* the cover on the plug built into the pod broke off. |

Once again the use of cheap plastic comes up. There are plastics out there that won't break when cold. It isn't like it was 40* below zero.

If it was -40 F I would understand, but not at 32!

Shore power cover snapped off in the cold
It uses two small pins to stay in place, made out of the same plastic material as the cover. Apparently the material doesn't like being cold, becoming brittle where the pins are. Of course to replace the cover I'll have to replace the whole assembly... or say the heck with it since it is still waterproof.
