Voltec 30 Amp Extension Cord, 10/3 STW, 10 Ft

The Voltec 16-00557 RV extension cord gives you an extra 10 feet of reach between your 30 amp RV power inlet and the campground pedestal or generator. Built with 10 gauge, 3 conductor STW cable and molded 30 amp RV connectors, it is designed to handle the higher loads common on 30 amp RV circuits without excessive voltage drop.

A short, heavy duty extension cord like this is ideal when the park power post is just out of reach of your existing shore cord or when you want a little more flexibility in how you position your trailer or motorhome on the site. The compact length is also easier to coil and store than longer cords when you only need a small amount of extra reach.

What This 30 Amp RV Extension Cord Does

• Adds approximately 10 feet to a standard 30 amp RV power cord.
• Plugs into a 30 amp TT-30 pedestal outlet or generator and connects to a 30 amp RV inlet or cordset.
• Helps reduce strain at the pedestal connection by giving you slack to route the cord safely.
• Useful as a dedicated short extension so you do not have to uncoil a full length cord for close hookups.

FAQ

Q: Can I use this 10 foot cord with another 30 amp extension and my main shore cord?
A: You can, but every additional length of cable increases voltage drop. For best performance with large loads like air conditioners, keep the total cord length as short as practical.

Q: Is this cord only for RVs?
A: It is designed for TT-30 RV style connections but can be used with any equipment that uses the same 30 amp configuration and rating.
