Voltec 50 Amp Extension Cord, 6/3 To 8/1 AWG, 30 Ft

The Voltec 16-00561 50 amp extension cord adds up to 30 feet of reach between your 50 amp RV inlet and the power pedestal or generator. With heavy 6 gauge and 8 gauge copper conductors and molded 50 amp connectors, it is built to handle the higher current demands of large fifth wheels and motorhomes.

This cord is useful when the campground power post is located far from your parking spot or when you want more flexibility in how you position your coach without giving up 50 amp service. The heavy cable and molded ends are designed for repeated outdoor use around RV parks.

FAQ

Q: Is this extension cord too heavy to handle?
A: Any 30 foot 50 amp cord will be significantly heavier than a 30 amp cord due to the larger conductors. The key advantage is maintaining full 50 amp capacity over a longer run.

Q: Can I use this with a 50 amp generator?
A: Yes, as long as the generator outlet is a matching 14-50 style receptacle and all equipment is used within its rated capacity.
