30 amp cord extension cover?

I'm having to run an extension 30 amp cord and I'm worried about the elements on the exposed parts of the plugs where the extension and power cord connect. I feel like a while back I saw a cover that went around both plugs but can't find it now. Anyone have any suggestions?

I made my own using plastic Plano Ammo Boxes (3 pics). Connections remain dry in even the worst rainstorms. :B


I copied your idea, and it works excellent! The connection is always dry.

I just make sure the connection is off the ground so it won't be immersed. 49 years of RV'ing and never a problem...

Rain water is non-conductive until it hits the ground and becomes contaminated.

I use a plastic coffee can with holes for the cord in it.
