New class A owner (Electrical cord)
I am a first time class A owner. I had a class C for 3 months and took only one trip in it. At home I pluged my 30 amp cable - with a 30 amp to 110v adapter and extention cord - into my shop outlets...

Jerry, what about a 30', 50 amp cord as sold by Camping World? It's the same large size as in the MH. It would double the length of the cord.
Time-to-go-now, it is a 50 amp and that is pretty much what I want to do but I would like to go down to a 15-20 amp cord. I have a 30 amp to 15-20 amp adapter. I could then use the 2 adapters together, 50 to 30 and 30 to 15/20. I just don't know why the book says no extension cords.
jhilley, could you expand on your reasoning.
Thanks to all.
I would see no problem with the 30' 50 amp cord. We're setting in an RV park in northern Michigan right now with our original 50 amp cord connected to the same extension cord. The 50 amp outlet is nearly 50 feet from the coach so an extension is required.
According to the spec sheet if this is the one you're looking at it has 6 gauge wires which should be plenty.
