I went out and looked for a 50 amp extension cord to fit in most RV parks we go to. I got the 30' extension from an internet RV supply place I found after doing a google search for the cord. The 20' cord that came with the trailer would have worked had the power plug in the trailer been in the center of the unit. If you have to use one end of the trailer a 30' cord would have been a far better idea rather than 20'. Since we use the AC or heat pump as well as the washer / drier we use the 50 amp option almost exclusively The extension gets used far more often than not.

Unfortunately for 30' you will be looking at a cost of about $125 to $135 for it. Shop around as prices do vary. I tried looking for the components to make my own but the wire price alone was pretty high at over $3.00 a foot when I found it at electrical supply stores. The main hardware stores didn't have it but some did have the plug assemblies.
