Relocating the 50amp power cord

I would not cut the cord that would be a bad idea, is there a storage compartment right next to the wet bay, if so you can cut a hole thru to next storage and run the cord there for storage but don't cut the cord.

Nope generator is in the bay next to it and the other one is pretty far away in front of the rear wheels.

I see no issue with cutting the cord and putting ends on it. Extension cords have ends replaced every day with no issues. You might also install a twist lock receptacle in the wet bay and just use a cord with a twist lock end. a lot of coaches are setup this way.

Well your setup is the same as mine but my wet bay is large and the cord is not near the drains or plumbing.

Your best bet is trying to roll the cord up tighter or somthing but dont cut the cord moisture will get into the conections and a short or shock might happen.

I did similar with my 30 amp cord. Bought a male repair end, 18 inches long or so. Then bought a female receptacle to go on removed cord.
Yours would be easier to just as you said cut the cable and install good quality cord bodies.

Probably be what I end up doing. Most of these are 30amp units and the cord is so much smaller it's probably not as much an issue but that 50amp anaconda is for sure a pain and I will end up with a busted crapper drain or something.

Cut the sewer hose. Install a plastic pipe underneath or on the back bumper to carry the hose.

Best improvement you can make is to replace the factory power cord with a good quality RUBBER cord. Factory cord is thermoplastic covered, is thick, and hard to coil. "SO" cord is durable and easy to coil and much smaller in diameter, and yet has the same wire gage, (#6) I did this with mine 10 years ago and it is perfect still today.

If you decide to install a twist lock receptacle, stick with Marinco brand. That is typically what is used on boats and high end motorhomes. It is durable and waterproof.

If you install a receptacle in the water bay, you can unplug your cord, coil it up and put it any where you want when not in use.

The cheapest and easiest way is to cut cord and buy 2new ends . I did this on my last 2 campers because of storage for the cord.

Well that settles it, thanks for the replies. My favorite thing is to go at the new rig with either a saw or a drill while the wife watches in horror. "It's ok honey, it's only new till it drives off the lot":)
