Handling 50 Amp Cord?
After a dozen years of 5th wheeling in a 30 AMP rig, I got spoiled with the ease of handling a 30 AMP power cord. It was permanently attached to the back of the trailer and the wife could easily coil ...

I just ordered a 35' length of 6/4 "SOOW 600V" flexible cable from Wire and Cable to go. It's pricey for sure, $3.25 a foot but from my research on here (on another RV Net thread) "6/4 SOOW" is supposed to be very flexible down to minus ten degrees or something like that. I already know "cheap" wire is stiff so I'm going to try this stuff. I'm a believer in "you get what you pay for". We'll see. The 50 amp cable that came with our rig is stiffer than a board even in the summer, up until this season I've been using a 30 amp cord with an adapter for the same reasons most everybody else is
I'll try to remember to update on how and what this stuff is really like. It doesn't come with ends but I'll get my own and attach them myself. Should be here in a few days.

Well just an update, I received my 50amp (flex)cable this morning. It is EVERYTHING I was expecting! Very flexible and it has the rubber jacket instead of the thermoplastic that came with the one for the Montana. Now all I have to do is get the ends and install, I didn't expect the cable to arrive this soon! I just ordered the other day.
I'm a "happy camper", no more struggling with the stiff fifty!
