Newbie question about power cord length

So how long of a power cord should I keep in my camper? do I really need a 100' cord, or will my heavy duty 25' be long enough?

I am trying to put together the camper with what I have, but do not want to load to much unnecessary stuff as I tend to over kill everything. Such as put 2 100' cords in the camper rather then just the 25' one.

Oh, I should had mentioned that I only have a 15/20 amp plug on the camper, she's old.

Haven't needed my extension yet, but I will keep bringing it.
