Got my 30ft 50amp extension cord made.I don't want to just throw it into a storage booth. Did that in our old 5th wheel but it was a 30amp and the cord was not near as heavy. I did this for now until I can come up with something different or maybe this is the best option.It can hold the 50amp cord-dog bone and my 2 25ft 12gage extension cords.

I use packing cubes to store cords and hoses. The cords fit easily and the cubes take up less room than hard-sided containers.

Looks like a great fit by my standards. As you go through life, look for a slightly shorter bucket perhaps if that would help as you stow it away.

We used a heavy duty clothes basket in which we coiled the 50 amp cord. The built in handles made it easier for one or two persons to carry. I wish I could claim credit for the idea but I saw a fellow camper using it.

Each of my 50's fit in their own milk crate

I will sugest that the connecting ends be pluged so that while being stored they do not deteriorate and make bad a connection, this storage method is good just make shure that if it rains water does not sagnate in the bottom.I roll the extention and clamp a plastic hand cuff purchased at Home Despot.navegator

Ditto, works great. Drilled a hole or two in the bottom to drain out water. Easier for me to carry than a one handle bucket.

I do the same.
