The first thing I would do is to examine if you really need a 50 amp service/cord.
In my case, My rig came with a 50 amp service and elephant cord.
After years of lugging that beast around, I realized that the only reason my rig has a 50 amp service is for the washer/dryer that I never installed. (I only have one AC unit) In fact, that breaker is always turned off.
I got a 30 amp Marinco plug and a 30 amp cord, and life is better. Never had a problem.
I don't know what your electrical requirements are, but I thought I would share this. I also have a much easier time storing the 30 amp cord in my RubberMaid electrical bin.
