50 amp cords can be stiff in the cold weather, mine is tightly coiled and is not removable so it stays in the genset outlet(no transfer switch) I dry camp most of the time but when I do hook up I keep the coils in place when hooked up then recoil the same way. Coils are 10-12 ins in dia.
They do make extreme cold weather electric cords that remain very flexible even in temps as low as -40. The Oil Industry uses them in Arctic operations. They are expensive, but can be found.
You can make your own with some 6/4 SOOW cable. I got a good deal on 40' of SOOW 6/4 cable and also got a good deal on the ends. We full time Park Host in the PNW so we deal with both heat and cold, this cable stores as easily cold as warm. We store it in a 3 gallon bucket.
In the second picture my hand is for scale not holding the cable down.
This. I bought my SOOW 6/4 cable a few years ago and it was one of the best improvements to my RV I have ever done (and it was made in the USA, Ron :B). It truly is like night and day to the junky, bulky, stiff cables trailers come with.
