Main power extension cord now a must for me

[Boomerweps]

Just Amazoned in a 25' 30amp extension cord for my TT.
Last camp, the power pedestal for my site was too far away for my 30' mains cable. The pedestals were set up one for four sites. It was located on the opposite side from my power inlet and some extra distance away. We were camping beside my DD & SIL and he didn't need the extension there, so he let me borrow it. I needed between 15-20' to reach. I'm not going to have that happen again. Otherwise I'd have had to use 12awg extensions and adapters to get power.

Yes, they do.
At $50.
Most on amazon are $40 or close to it. The camco one was $32.

I have 125 feet of 30 amp extension cord: 2-fifties and 1-twenty-five, and a few times camping I used it all. BUT now I have a 50 amp camper... oh well. I guess I'll just have to start over. I still carry the 75 feet of 30 amp, just in case. Plugging in to a 30 amp and then using the dog bone to jump up to the 50 amp plug, well ... having 30 amp availability is better than NO electricity. Someday, I'll break down and spend a couple hundred dollars on a 50 amp extension. .... someday!

How do you switch between them?

He saying he has a receptacle that common between the two on his. One in front and one at the rear so he just uses the closest one to the power pedestal to plug his cord into.

Mainly a problem I've run into a private campgrounds. I carry an extra 50 feet now as two 25ft cords.

Always good to carry an extension. I also carry all power adapters to adapt M-F or F-M to all 3 power pedestal plug types for all 3 RV plug types.
