50 amp cord storage suggestions

Hello,

We will be picking up our new Grand Design Reflection 27RL next week. My current 5th wheel is only 30 amp and the new one is 50 amp. Obliviously the 50 amp cord is much bigger and heavier. I am looking for suggestions on how to store the cord while protecting it from damage and keeping it clean.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions

Dave

    Any chance you could share a photo of this?

    What do you do with the ends? Do you have to uncoil the entire cord when you use it?

    Thanks!

    I find it easy to coil up my 50 amp cord in a milk crate. Stores easily in my pass through. I then store my adapters in the center of the coil.

    I coil up my 30A in a 5 gallon bucket. Not sure if that will work for a 50!

    We just coil ours up, bought a couple of the heavier Velcro straps at Home Depot, and put them on the cord, coil it up wiping it off as I go, secure the Velcro straps, and store in the front storage bay. Good Luck and Happy Camping !!
