A question on rolled shore power cords

You should be fine as long as you don't cover the coiled cord with anything; especially anything padded like a tablecloth or blanket, tarp, etc. That would allow heat to build up rapidly and might cause problems. Otherwise, there should be adequate ventilation to keep it below dangerous temps. The rubber and/or plastic insulation's ignition temperatures are on the low side around 250 degrees F and on the high side of around 500 degrees F. If it gets that hot just coiled up while plugged into the generator, you've got a lot more problems....like something drawing a HUGE amount of amperage. As a general practice, I keep my cord in a figure 8 pattern in the bin when traveling...it's just easier to deploy when I get where I'm going. Harder to pack, but easier to deploy. I don't have plug it into anything when on generator, but I can see how a figure-8 coil would allow better ventilation in your situation rather than just a straight coil.
