That's my question...now you have something else that needs to be stored and space is at a premium. Where do you folks who made the switch store 30' of cable.
That's one of the added benefits, more storage in the trailer. I added two drawers under the couch where the box for the cord used to be. I now throw the cord in the back of the van when towing. Space in the living space of the trailer is at much more of a premium to me than space in the van.

On the RV side, I would say about 50% of those I spend the most time with all have the twistlock setup on their trailers in the 30a or 50a flavors and still here I have not heard of any failures on the twist lock. The most common failure I have seen has been the same, the male end of the plug. I considered converting my monaco over to one before I figured out the trick to rangling that 50A cord back into the bay.
My Marinco connector failed. Well, failed isn't really fair, I drove off with it connected. :S It broke the connector housing that is screwed to the sidewall of the trailer, fortunately I noticed my stupidity and stopped before pulling anything completely apart. I emailed Marinco about buying a new housing, and they sent me all the parts I needed free of charge! Very cool.
