I keep my camper plugged in at home on a 50 foot wire, 24x7. Before I installed a surge protector inside the camper, the trailer had 35 feet of cord. Depending upon which way I turned the trailer, it took either an additional 25 foot, or an additional 50 foot. So, I had either 85 feet total, or 60 feet total. So, 50, 60, and 85 at home. I've NEVER had any problems.
Now, I also have two 50 foot cords, and two 25 foot cords, and the original 35 foot from the camper. I have on a couple occasions used it all at home when I parked in the front yard. That's a total of 185 feet of cord, and the camper ran just fine.
Normally, I'm running through a 50 foot cord, and I use the 25 footer at campgrounds if the pedestal is right at the campsite.
