Where can I buy a 10' 50 amp cable?

[RickV]

I am looking for a 10' 50 amp cable with the twist lock female on the end. Anyone know where I can find one that short.

TIA

What plug do you want on the male end?

15ft is about as short you can get unless you can use the real short one 18 inches. . Later RJD

Regular 50 amp plug. I guess I should have elaborated more in my initial post. What I am thinking about doing is running a regular 50 amp cable from a campground pedestal up through opening in the bottom of my basement (place where the water hose comes in) then, into a portable 50 amp surge protector and then, from the 50 amp SP back out the hole and to the power hookup on the 5ver. I figure this will accomplish two things protect the SP from the weather and protect it from some scum that may want to steal it.

The SP is water proof and put a lock on the pedestal lid to keep it closed will keep the SP from being pulled out of the plug in.

Three links plus a second lock go around the cable.

In this shot the box was too small for the lid to close so I just wrapped the chain around the water line.

might as well go with a 25 ,in case you cant get that close to the pedistal, and what plug is on the SG?

[Bluesky]

lowes, but you must buy your connectors
, I got mine from Marinco.

At least that's what I recall, got a 10 foot 50 amp cable with twist lock on the coach end and 50 amp connector on the other end. My seasonal site on the Ohio River and most places I've camped in KY and TN I get close enough to the pedestal that I don't have to use the 35' that came with my coach.

While 10' is a real handy length I also eliminate a small voltage drop by not using the long cable. At my seasonal site every volt counts when it gets hot and the everyone is dragging the power down.

For the cost of a 10 foot extention I would sell my portable surge protector and buy a hardwired unit and save the trouble.

Not a wise decision to lock an electrical box in case of an emergency.

[Wolverine 1945]

Good Thought OldCoot !!!
At least using the lock box you could still unplug !!!
Not sure how secure a plastic box is ???
I have one,,, but have not used it yet !!!
Felt I did not need it last time out ???

[Ford Idaho]

In a "emergency situation" you can still unplug the trailer from the lower plug.

Locking the box only covers one end, take a better look, note how low the trailer plug is?

Regardless, not a good idea to lock any electrical box.

That may depend on where you live ???
