Electric Cord..."getting the Genie back in the bottle" - lol

Hi Drum,

There are no stupid questions.

The cord tends to coil as it is pushed in. If it is carry 30 amps @ 120 volts it may start to get hot because of the coiling. Therefore it is better to cut it off, leaving a couple of feet.

This may be a stupid question, but why cut the cord? You've got the male end at the hole anyway, so why not just plug it into a separate RV extension cable without cutting off the existing one? Then you've got extra cable to pull out in case you ever have a need for the extra length.
