Looking for ideas on how to Roll up/store 50 amp cord

I have a cord and an extension and two Cord Caddy baskets, one for each.

Check out the Cord Caddy on Amazon.

Bigger bin? Coil it up tighter? Don't try to fit it in a bin and just roll it up like garden hose? Buy a cord reel? Cut it in half and add a plug to each end so each half is easier to handle? Wrap it and store around your propane bottles if they're exposed up front?

Move closer to the power pedestal and don’t use it. That is a big cord. Maybe a hose reel from Home Depot.

soem people put both the 50 amp cord and some of the hoses in what I call wash tubs (Metal or plastic tubs about 3' across)

A tool I have might work.

Hose carrier strap

I used it for ... Other stuff never for the 50 amp cord

Since I full timed I put the 50 amp cord in the car.. Then hooked the car behing the RV. Upon arrival at a 50 amp site I pulled in with the car.. Pulled up beside the power post and unloaded the cord. Then Backed the RV in and hooked up.

50 gallon plastic barrel or garbage can cut in half and coiled in the bottom.

A 40' 50 amp cord is too big and heavy for regular use. Get a 25' cord and have a 50 amp extension cord available for those rare times you need a longer cord

I agree with Langley. 40 ft is to long and heavy to rangel for 1 person. Either cut yours down or by a 25ft and a 15ft extension and only use what you need.

40' is a great length! It just needs to be the correct material, our 40' 50 amp (6/4)power cable is made of SOOW electrical cord, it easily fits in a 3 gallon bucket even in freezing weather. The bottom picture my hand is for scale.

I’d go for a five gallon bucket. You really need a 40 footer? Consider cutting into two 20s.

Won't wast the time with my similar pics. This is one of the best mod's a person can do. I carry a 25' like above plus my cord reel that has 25-30'.

Cold weather the cord is still VERY flexible.
