A question on rolled shore power cords

Good morning all,

So I've read many stories and posts about the dangers of having your shore power cord rolled up when plugged in. I've even heard that a regular extension cord rolled up when in use can be a fire hazard.

My question is this.. My 1990 Triple E has a female plug in the compartment for my shore cord for when I use my generator. Wwhen on the road, obviously I can't leave the cord run out underneath the motorhome. It has to be nicely rolled up in it's compartment. And that thing gets hot after a day of travel on a warm day. Is this just the way those with this setup just have to do it? It makes me nervous every time we're traveling. Fortunately our travels don't take us very far.

Thanks for any insight.
