Thanks to all of you for a bunch of great suggestions, much appreciated. I should have thought of this myself, but I didn't. Making another cable by installing 2 new ends, one female and one male is the best idea and most versatile option. As noted above, this will give me 3 options, my original 25 feet, a 20 foot or a 45 foot cord depending on my needs. In terms of load, my yam gen is a ef2800i so could not exceed the cord rating and my other option is 2 Honda eu2000s which combined is 27 amps, again within the cords specs. Will be picking up a new male and female connector today
Thanks again!
