I'm studying up on wire amperage.
Using soow cord and making your own shore has got me scratching my head. It changes a lot with differant number conductors , temps and so on.
I've looked at thhn stranded for the long run from breaker panel in the front to the back of the trailer and have a junction box there then hook my 50 amp soow number 6 shore or gen power.
The thhn has got a lot different amperage rating you could almost go with # 8.
I'm in no hurry I want to get it the wiring amperage right .
