How to secure 50amp power cord?
We just bought a new 5th wheel with a 50amp service. How do you secure the power cord so that it doesn't walk away? Thanks

I've got a fancy metal box with a padlock to lock the 50 amp cord to the surge/ current protector. I quit using it a couple years ago.
The only thing that I know I've lost in a campground was my very nice Craftsman 19.2v battery powered drill. And I know I left it sitting on the back bumper of the truck when I drove away from the campsite. Probably fell off when I went through the pot holes about 20 sites from mine. Didn't realize it was gone for a couple days....
My experience is that theft is not really a problem among RVers. I've never met anyone who had one stolen.
One guy did have his unhooked on day. Another camper thought he saw it smoking, threw the breaker, disconnected the power cord, and left a note as to why. Turned out the surge protector had fried from a power surge (that's what they are supposed to do - sacrafice the surge protector to prevent much more expensive damage to the rig)
