50amp extension cord

You guys seem to know all the deals. Looking for standard connections maybe 30-50 foot extension cord. Best deal. Thanks.

    I believe the 50 amp service is 50 amps per leg, total 100 amps combined. Hence the heavy wire.


    Not true, you only have 50 amps...period, total.

    Anyway, I made my own.

  • I decided to make up an extension cord when we bought our MS. I bought 30' of SOOW from "Wire and Cable your way" and put ends on it. I love it because I don't have to wrestle with that cable in cold weather! VERY flexible! :B

    I have had to use the extension cord three times since making it up.

  • If I needed a 50 amp cord, Id go to Home depot and get some sjoow/soow cord and make my own. I love the flexibility of it.
