No matter what length it sooner or later will be 12 inches too short.

Has anyone recently purchased a 36CKTS? When I was out the Hershey Show in September, I thought the display model had a 50' power line, mine just came in and it looks like it has a 25 or 30 foot line. The dealer hasn't finish prepping, so I do not have it in my possession yet.

Looks like 30 feet.
I went out and bought a 50 feet extension just in case.
Have not used the extension yet

I bought a 15 ft extension to add to my 30 ft. If that can't make it then I guess we move on.  Later RJD

Yep dirt cheap . Why is it you can buy a camper with 30 amp and get a 50ft cord but not with 50 amp? Cheap manufactures. Later RJD

No just takes another one to connect 50amp due to weight. Later RJD

A 50' Anaconda of a 50 amp power cord would weigh more then I would want to pack around. I can see another 15' extension, but where have you been to need 80' of cord to hook up?

We have a 50 ft. Cord that came with our fifth wheel and have since downsized to a 30 ft. 50ft was too heavy and most of it stayed curled on the ground. We do have a 15 ft. extension and the 50ft travels with us.

Made my own cord. Bought 4 wire at Home Depot and 2 ends.
I know it's long but I won't come up short.
Stays in cargo hold only when I need to use it.
Which has been never so far.
But I have been to some camp sites that I seen that has a box over 50 feet away from the pad where you wish you had another cord.
Just in case.

l need 35' to the outlet in my garage. I just went to Amazon and ordered a 15' extension. I was sure there was a 50' cord at the show. It appears my rig comes with a 25 or 30 foot, and the extension will satisfy the bill.
