Lighter weight power cord

[RRinNFla]

I remember seeing a thread about 50A power cords being made with a lighter weight material, but I can’t seem to find it. Is there such a thing and is it safe.

50A cord is going to weigh about the same no matter. Buy "SO" cord and add the yellow Camco ends for a nice flexible cord.

Most factory cords are a type of plastic cover that works but is thicker and heavier than rubber cord. I changed mine to rubber cord and it is a big improvement.

Most all 50 amp cords are "Extension Cords" some have the matching plug and outlet some have a different Outlet (Marinco style) than the TT plug.

I used to have a 30 amp cord for use on 30 amp sites. it had a 50 amp Marinco Outlet and it was also a "Superflex" lighter weight jacket which did not get stiff when it got cold.. Very nice. But only 30 amp.. they make a 50 amp version too.

The one linked you will need to add the MARINCO outlet to it (The connector that "Pluggs into" the INLET on the RV)

That cord is an extension cord, for use with a power cord. Unless you cut off the end and add your own.

Southwire makes a 50 amp cord that's quite flexible. It's sold under the Surge Guard label.
