6/4 wire cable for 50A Inverter install

I need to purchase some extra cable for my inverter/charger install. It is a 3000W 50A inverter. Everywhere I read or viewed on Youtube, I require a 6/4 wire, or a 6/3 with ground. I'm thinking of purchasing a VEVOR 50' RV extension cable and cutting the end plugs off. (about 7.5 metres or about 25' run from AC distribution panel to inverter.

It has a STW jacket and appears to have stranded copper wire on the 6 gauge wires. Does anyone have any views on this? Can a STW cable be installed inside an RV - I would have thought so. The SOOW cable is much more expensive. Is there any specific requirement for the outer jacket specification? What is the most economical way to buy such cable?
Any suggestions?
