50 Amp Power Cord Sgtorage
The power cord on my 2015 Forest River Sierra 5th wheel is very long and heavy to muscle around. Any suggestions on storing the power cord for relatively easy access upon arriving at camp site?

Choices, choices (options, options?)..:h
The 12V powered reel *with* flexible 50amp cord are available at $500.
Pricey = yes.
Convenient = VERY!
(pull out what you need, push button to reel it back in)
It's a once in a lifetime purchase!
Why? - take it *with you* when/if you move on to another RV - or
even sell it if you purchase a rig (like a high dollar MH) that comes with a powered reel.
Less expensive version of the above = hand-cranked reel & your existing (stiff.:(.) cord.
Other option/s:
As others have noted, there are shorter versions of 50 amp cords readily available from many RV suppliers.
Note: Most 50amp cords use a twist-lock Marinco connection to connect to the RV.
Extension cords usually won't have one - or if they do, it will be expensive!
-or- - you can.....
Cut your Anaconda in half, and add (less expensive) male plug to the half with the Marinco and make your own "shorter version".
(Then, add "standard" 50 amp female plug to the other half to use as the extension cord)
For me, the "lifetime" powered cord reel & cord was one of the very best RV "gizmos" I ever purchased..:C
Up to *you* to decide what "electrifying option/s" light your way!
