50 AMP cord storage

Google "50 amp cord reel".

One of those may help, priced from a little to a lot.

I use the tupperware method but this is what I would like to install if I can find some room to place it. I looked at it in person at a MORryde booth and it's pretty light but well built.

I like my method better. Since our rig stays plugged in at home I simply disconnect and put in the back of the truck. :)

If I ever have the misfortune of buying a 50 amp RV, I would invest in a 30 amp cord which would be adequate for 90% of my use and wouldn't be like wrestling a python in use. actually I already have the necessary cord/fittings/etc.

Sounds like some need to lift a few weights now and then!

The standard 50A 30' RV cord is 21.6lbs. Heck that's even less than the Andersen Ultimate!

I can tell you my cord feels like it weighs way more than 21.6lbs, but for me it's not the weight so much as coiling and placing it in my storage compartment. Even in warm temps it never seems to relax.

You need to buy the parts and pcs to make your own 50A cord at the length YOU want. It's real easy and no more $ than the stiff JUNK Camping World sells.

I am not sure what you are showing or how this is better and lighter than the "junk" sold by nearly every RV dealer on the Planet. Some additional (helpful) details would be greatly appreciated. I have that same heavy, bulky, inflexible cord (camping in the cold makes it feel like I am wrestling a python!) that's about 40' long and would love to find a viable option that would let me have a light weight flexible cord 40-50 foot cord that could be easily coiled up in a small tub.

The second pic shows what the cord is called and wire sizes. The Camco 50A cord ends are sold on Amazon for example as is the 50A 6/3 and 8/1 SOW cord. It sometimes is less expensive to just get the 6/4.

I really doubt it's lighter but it sure is flexible even in freezing weather.

If you have access to an electrical wholesale supply house you can get ti by the foot. Check around there are better places to buy.
