I built my own 75 foot 50A cord (to reach the outlet at my Father In Laws, when were on the curb) and i use it in our storage bay so i don't have to roll up the cords every time we go out.
If you want to build your own expect to pay 4 bucks a foot for RAW 50 amp cord, in a flexible (SO/SOO) jacket with 6 ga.3 conductor - 8 ga 1 conductor (commonly referred to as 6/3-8/1).
You can buy the plug ends from camping world (and other places) - Power Grip Plug
OR you can buy a 30 foot 50A Extension Cord from camping world (and others) for 100-150 bucks
google is showing some results of 100 foot 50A (generator) extension cords for 300 bucks, but you'd have to adapt or change the ends.
