I use a milk crate for mine, works well for me. I have seen others that use a bucket too.

I just roll the cord into a loop and secure the looped cord with a flexible cable tie, then I place the loop onto a storage hook that I placed on the side wall of the storage compartment. This way the cord is stored flat against the wall and does not take up much floor space in the storage compartment.

On our last unit we did the milk crate storage, now our new unit has the power cord reel in it's own compartment.

I always coiled mine into a 5 gallon bucket.
But my fulltimer secret is that I now just throw it in the truck bed!

Your welcome. Haven't got mine yet but saw them the last time I was at the RV Dealer and thought I would look into them. I will be getting one for the water hose and one for the power cord.

Don't have 50A, but a 30A. I coil it up and toss it in my tool box attached to the back of our trailer

That caddy looks nice, but there is no way in the world my 50A cord would fit in one.
I have a Furrion 36' cord that has a heavy rubber shield around it. It must be 1 1/4" in diameter and probably weighs 75lbs.
I throw it in the bed of my truck now, but I sure would like to find some sort of storage bin to keep it in.
