Seems that someone has walked off with our 30AMP twist lock power cord for our Travel Trailer. They took that along with some other wire on the side of our house. I see Walmart has the black RV cord for 89.99 but they also have a Marine version (yellow cord) for 20. cheaper. Everything else seems the same on the package.
Is there a difference between RV (black) versus the Marine (Yellow) 30 Amp twist lock power cord?
If it was me, I would make sure it is No. 10 gage copper or eight gage aluminum. Then I would look at the strands. the more strands it has the more flexible it will be, and I would get the one with the most strands.
If they are both equal, I would get the marine grade one.
Just me and others might differ.
