Wrestling - The ANACONDA ! :
You can do bins and baskets, and shorter cords, etc., etc.
However (IMO) the best investment I ever made for the Anaconda, is to replace it with a 12V powered cord reel (and cord) - mounted in a compartment.
Pull out the amount you need - push button to retract cord.
The supplied cord is MUCH more flexible than the mfgr supplied cord.
(It's 25 ft.long. I have yet to need -after 10 years- the 15' extension I carry.)
Also, I have the option of re-connecting to the factory wiring to the Marinco connection at the rear of my 5th whenever I wish.....including when/if I sell my RV. The cord & reel can stay with me, for whatever might be next.
Simply un-plug the powered cord & reel and connect the "pig-tail" from the power panel.
NO way to connect (the male plug) to more than one (female) option!
My factory supplied "Anaconda" sleeps peacefully in a cardboard box in the garage.
:C..:)..;)
On edit: My bad! The cord reel cord is 25' long, not 36'.. Maybe It's the factory Anaconda that's 36' - but not going to drag him out to check.
