So how long of a power cord should I keep in my camper? do I really need a 100' cord, or will my heavy duty 25' be long enough?I am trying to put together the camper with what I have, but do not want to load to much unnecessary stuff as I tend to over kill everything. Such as put 2 100' cords in the camper rather then just the 25' one.

I have a 30' extension for my 30 amp service. I've only used it once in several years, but was glad I had it.

Oh, I should had mentioned that I only have a 15/20 amp plug on the camper, she's old.

our camper has a 25' cord and we carry another 30' extension, which I use all the time. Easier to replace the extension cord if it gets worn and damaged, then to replace the camper power cord and we often use both.

Just make sure the cord is #12 wire and go with what you have.
Worst case you just pick up what is needed on the road.
