- Boon_DockerExplorer IIIRemove one end (plug) from cord and put cord inside a 3/4 inch PVC pipe, then reinstall a new plug.
- RedRollingRoadbExplorerThree pieces of 1X4 or some 3/4 inch plywood by how ever long your need. Lay two pieces on either side of the cord and bridge the gap and cord with the third. Secure with small screws, washers and nuts.
- GdetrailerExplorer IIINo such thing exists and if it did would be more expensive than your RV.
The closest thing to armored cable that I can think of is this
"BX" cable, but, it is not designed for and cannot be used for outdoor use, it is not designed to be run over..
Find a different route such as overhead or take it the long way around or bury conduit under the driveway and run some wire through the conduit and terminate to a RV outlet.
You could also try cord protectors that look like this..
That one is rated for 22,000 lbs but it is expensive for a 40" length..
Found HERE for $52.00 - gboppExplorer

X2. Do it right and do it one time. - Pull the wire under the driveway. Or have a professional do it. You may already have a slip pipe to route irrigation.

Those covers might be a better way to go. - Grit_dogNavigatorEase off the coffee and metamucil, guys....
Bore under the driveway? Put up an overhead line? I mean I suppose if it's going to be there for years, but then an extension cord in and of itself wouldnt be the right choice.

Build a cord protector out of wood, buy one like above, stuff the cord in small piece of pipe, or anything similar. Easy peasy. We do this daily to drive semis and construction equipment over cords and hoses on jobsites. Pretty sure it will work for your car.
PS it's even OSHA approved for the "do it right" cops who replied... - Beverley_KenExplorerWhat material is your driveway made from, hard surface, asphalt (blacktop) concrete , the above suggestions are great, gravel stone etc, uneven, then questionable especially if there are tire depressions.

Just what I was going to suggest. Use heavy wall PVC
