Hi Kuba,
The 33 and 67 foot solution is better than two 50 foot cords. If you will be doing this in winter time get cable that is designed to remain flexible in freezing temperatures.
30 amp male and female ends are available on Amazon.
I do a lot of urban and rural boondocking with access to power. I have modified my RV so that I can "break out" the water heater, and also the converter.
In low voltage situations I run the converter on shore power and run the rest of the RV from the inverter. So I have 3 shore power solutions, the OEM 30 amp, a 20 amp, and a 15 amp.
This means I care LOTS of cords, as especially in rural situations I can sometimes run three shore power cords.
I carry a 100, 67, 33, 25 and 20 foot #10. I also carry a 100 foot #12.
I use the shortest possible cord length.
I carry dog bone adapters.
