Toting RV power cord

I am like bid time, coil it up and throw it on top of everything. Last in first out.

I agree to a point. Accept I put our rolled up cord into a nylon laundry bag before throwing it into an outside access compartment in our TT. Keeps the compartment much cleaner. Can't always break camp in ideal weather conditions.

5 gallon bucket for a long time.

I'd love one of the flexible SO cords. But can't bring myself to spend the money.

BUT- since fulltiming, my latest secret is that I just throw it in the truck bed. Since I'm going from one campground to the next- I just throw it back there. :)

I coil my 30A 25' cord up and sling it in the entrance door of the camper. It is always the first thing out of the camper when arriving and the last thing in when leaving.

Only exception - when boondocking, then it gets slung on the floor of the truck when arriving, and tossed back in the camper when leaving.

Although the bucket idea sounds like a good idea. I could put the 15A and 50A adaptors in there with it to keep them all together.

I mounted a MorRyde cord reel to my ladder just above the plug-in of the fiver. Works great and don't have to lug the heavy/dirty 50 amp cord to the front of the rig for storage. I crank it in with 1 hand while using a rag to wipe it down with the other.

MorRydes smallest/cheapest reel is large enough for my 30' 50 amp cord. Bought mine while touring their plant last Fall. $80 well spent!

I keep my 30A power cord, extension cords (30A and 2 - 110V), and all of my electrical adapters in a tote with a lid. If we're taking the golf cart with us, it's on the top of the stack (beside the leveling tub and above the fresh water tub) on the back of the golf cart. If not, it's on the top of the stack on the front receiver of our class B.

Similar LarryJM, instead of 40 or 50ft long cords my two 30amp cords are 25ft long. Short enough to be easy to handle, and usually I only need around 15-20ft of cord anyways. I just coil them up and put them in the front compartment of our TT.

I rolled mine up in an orange Home Depot 5 gallon bucket and it was a 50 amp cord.. Now I just press a button :B

Did you mount a button to the orange bucket? How does it work?

Rubbermaid tub, that also holds, 15/30/50 amp adapters and surge protector all in one location. Tube stored in front pass through.
