All cords are not created equally. Consider a shorter more flexible cord.
A shorter cord will be easier to store. 36' is excessive
Excessive until you need it.  I was at Ft Wilderness a couple of weeks ago and if my long 50amp cord wasn't with me I would have had to part way closer to the front of the site than the back giving me more room to park my truck, etc.
Where do I store my cord when traveling?  In the back of my truck bed.  The cord is the last thing I load and the first thing I unload, why spend a bunch of time finding a nice tidy hidy hole to stick it into.  Will it walk off in the back of the truck?  It hasn't yet.
