I'm definitely getting a 50 amp extension cord. The question is, how long is too long? I know you can't connect too much length or the cords will get too hot and present a hazard.

We have a 25 foot extension to match our standard 50 amp cord. I've only had to use it twice, but it sure came in handy when I needed it. First time, we were in Alaska and the campground had the power station at the front of the lot.
We could have pulled in backwards (it was a drive through) but then the sewer and water would have been on the wrong side. Campground wiring was obviously laid out by someone who was having a bad day.
Another time, we lost half a leg of electricity at our pedestal, so I used the extension to plug into the empty lot next to us.
