Short Power Cord
Anyone know where to purchase (I can fabricate, but choose not to) a short (10' preferred, 15'max) 30amp Power cord? I have plenty 25, 35, ... Some I've seen on line have wrong plug ends and even those cost more than a standard 25' power cord. It is to connect generator to TT plug in.

What 30 amp ends do you want?
Some generators have twist locks for the 30 amp/110v output, some have R/V style 30 amp.
I'm assuming you want the female 30 amp twist lock for the TT?

15 foot looks to be as short as you can get.

That's a tough one to find that short.
I wound up splitting a 25 footer to make mine.
I bought a standard 30 amp male plug and standard 30 amp female socket and made a 10' 30 amp shore cord from one half and a 10' extension, from the other. Still have the 5' piece laying around for something just not sure what.

I may have to resort to that too, but already have extensions. I'll just add a male plug to the 10' from the TT locking end. With the apparent demand, I am surprised it is not readily available.
So who has the least expensive 25' standard power cord? I'll probably get the male end from Lowes or HD.

Just a bit too short (need 7-10'?), but they have the 30 amp male end to attach to a cut cord if Lowes/Hd doesn't.

Bought one a couple years ago for another project.
