Extension cords

New to this site. Rather than search and possibly find, I'll ask... First Toy Hauler. 50 amp. But to visit the grandbabies, I'll have a 100' run, leading to a 30amp box. From the research I've done thus far, am I correct to assume that I'll need at least a 10 guage cord to run this length (8 guage bring preferred)? I know that I'll be limited on what I can draw. I'll start there. Thanks in advance.

    If you are not extending the plug, It's expensive but you could get 50amp extension cords and a 30 amp adapter at the plug.

    No penalty for a wire larger than necessary. Big problems when too small.
