A quality electrical connector is especially important when connecting a vehicle. Your RV power cord needs to be well-insulated and resistant to water, as well as able to be connected to the campsite’s power outlet. It is equally important to maintain cleanliness and storage, as well as to maintain safety. High-visibility RV cords should be included on checklists, and designs that reduce electric shock risks should also be included.
Despite being available at a wide price range, each of these RV power cords has its own unique advantages. A 25-foot cord with a 30 amp rating was chosen for ease of comparison. There are some manufacturers who offer longer cords. Extension cords that are designed specifically for RVs are also available. It depends on the campsite whether you’re dealing with 30 or 50 amps. There’s one cord that works with both 50-amp and adapters (and comes with a dedicated 50-amp cord), but it doesn’t need an adapter.
