50 amp cord storage ideas?

Interested in knowing how you store your 50 amp cord? My fiver has a detachable cord, and right now I roll it up and put it in basement while traveling. Wondering if there is any better ideas that might make storage and use, easier than just having to drag it out and each time. I also travel with a 50 amp extension since a lot of places my cord isn't long enough to reach electric service. Thanks for the ideas!

    Mine is also rolled up and placed in the basement, street side. That is the first place I go anyway to get power cord, water hoses, sat coax, etc when setting up at a new site. And when disconnecting to leave. My 50 amp extension cord is rolled up and placed in a round plastic laundry basket in the front compartment as I have rarely had to use it.

    I also have a 30 amp cord with a 50 amp twist connector on the trailer end that I use at 30 amp only RV sites. Much easier than dragging out, and putting back, the heavy 50 amp cord and 50/30 adapter, especially in cold weather when it is also stiff.

    I just roll mine up and put it in the rear compartment. I have seen people put them in a 5 gallon bucket.
