True, and an argument that favours having the EMS wired in at the trailer rather than the campsite power post because it's also accounting for any voltage drop that may occur due to main service cable length. Here in Ontario where the runs can typically be 100' or more that's an important issue, not so much for those just running out the trailer's 25' cable to reach the post.
Wow - Haven't found that is Western Canada and I only carry 60' of 50A cord. :(
I do carry an additional 50' of 30A cord for my sons house. Plus with 100' of 10ga 20A cord I already have a basket full of cords. ;)
The NEC specifies where a pedestal has to go on a site and where the shore power cord has to enter an RV. The CEC has no such rules. In fact, the CEC rules for RV parks is next to nothing compared to the NEC. Only twice have we found that our 25' 30 amp cord isn't long enough and that was in older CGs when the code was probably different. We carry a 2nd 30 amp shore power cord and a generator adapter that allows us to make up a 50' cord. The 2nd one is also good in case our nice Marinco cord walks away or is damaged.
