But many would prefer to purchase their own, than make their own. Typically the best locations to source seasonal workable cords, cables and hoses would be a Welding shop. As you might expect, welders are use power drop cords too and then have some of the best type and selection. Air General is the ones I use most often. I know they will make custom length cables for DC purposes, they might do the same for this application, too.MrWizard wrote:We have a winner!!!:B
Don
look at his signature
he has a TT not a motorhome, probably uses a portable genny
what he needs is a smaller shore cord, some 10ga (30amp) SJ all weather cord
it does not have a Poly-vynal jacket that gets stiff in cold weather
cord gauge depends on the size of this genny
I have two EU 2000s. We often boondock for extended periods. Just returned from a 20 day trip. Temps got as low as 12 degrees. The generator runs a lot then. I have insulated and heat taped all of the underbelly plumbing, and it needs AC to keep the water flowing
Not sure what cord my old one is, but it used to be flexible all the time. Age has taken it's toll.
