Are you looking for an extension cord or to replace the one n your coach? If the former, I got my 50’ extension cord on Amazon.

Got a 50 ft 50 amp extension cord on Amazon. Make sure you get a MH cord and not a welding 50 amp cord. LOL

50A power cord

Most of the cords sold at the businesses listed above are protected by a PVC outer sheath.. When the cord gets cold, the cord doesn't bend well to put away in locker. The PVC cords are inexpensive though. For a good flexible rubber sheathed cord, Shop the marine stores for a (usually) yellow 50 A cord. Prepare for sticker shock if buying a rubber sheathed cord.

Thanks for that knowledge, My 30 amp cord is too stiff in cold weather. I didn’t know I could eliminate that hassle.

Glendinning is the best cord out there. Easier to handle in cold weather.

I bought a 50 amp 30 foot extension from Amazon, but the company is Road Power. It is the proper 6/8 guage wire adn a heavy duty, but flexible sheath. The ends are heavy as well.

They occassionally have a sale and I got in on that for something like $75 which was way below some of the cheaper alternatives.
