50 amp Power Cord
I need to replace the power cord on my fifth wheel trailer. The one I got with it is so stiff, it is like trying to coil a board. Can anyone recommend a type of cable that will be more manageable?

I do not like what SOOW pure rubber does to copper when environmental temperatures of 30c are encountered over a long period of time. It takes years but shiny copper turning brown and purple is not something I wish to see. I blame the sulfur in the rubber for this. Also SOOW insulation exposed endlessly to sunshine UV or ozone will rot.
SOOW flexibility is superb but it's only fair to yank it's shorts down and expose its warts to scrutiny.
I have not done a price comparison between Marinco and POLAR wire but the latter is flexible to -55c

I have had my SOOW 50 amp power cord on my motorhome for about 12 years now and it is working fine still. One of the best mods I made. Much easier to coil up and uncoil, even in cold weather including Arizona heat and Ohio cold.
