What is a good extension cord to buy with this for more mobility from my RV?

Question for Renogy ... can you suggest a source for 8-10 ga cable to extend the cable as delivered? Can a new length of cable be "daisy-chained" onto the existing cable, yielding a cable with two different gauges? Or should the entire cable be replaced? Is the comment from Ian W. below about connectors correct?

DO NOT buy any of the advertised MC4 connectors/extensions/accesories that pop up in relation to this product. They ARE NOT compatible. This is the only Renology product I've seen that uses Anderson "style" 50A connectors. Unless you can find an extension cord equipped with Anderson 50A BLACK (different colors do NOT interchange), build your own.

How far are you planning to extend from the Anderson Power Pole connector? Because of the built-in controller, the current length that is included with this kit is the maximum allowed for #12 gauge for a 3% loss. If you are planning to extend the leads, say another 10 ft. we recommend around 8 gauge, so the extra loss is minimal.

I have a twenty foot long, three prong extension cord. It's the kind of thing that you would buy in Walmart or the Home Depot.

40 is going to be pushing it with this one.. it seems mostly for standard extension cords. i'd say pass on this one for a 40.

I have a 50 ft extension cord attached to my device. It's great for working outdoors in the middle of nowhere, literally. I haven't had any problems with it either.

We bought our own extension cord. I think the one that comes with it is not too long.

You can use extension cords from the 120 vac end of the inverter. It is recommended that you use less than a 100 foot cord, preferably 50 feet.

I use Conntek and Coleman adapters from Amazon. They are both short, have lighted ends, and are heavy-duty. I keep them in a canvas tote alongside the generator. I mounted wheels and a handle on the generator so I can easily roll it out when I need it.These are the adapters:Coleman Cable 01915 3-Feet Generator Power Cord Adapter, 10/3 Splitter Y Adapter, L5-30P to (2) Lighted 5-20R andConntek 15340 RV 30-Amp Plug with Ergo Grip to 15/20 U.S Female Connector Light End Adapter I like my set-up and Amazon was fast and very affordable. Good luck!

Get a long power extension cord very light easy to use. A long hose would probably need larger I.D. the heavy hose not to good.

I don't have this model, but I my best guess would be a outdoor rated extension cord.

We love using this unit with our RV travels, but also worried about it getting "legs". So I run a heavy cable lock through the handle and secure it to the RV. Also bought the Voltage Valet Cable Lock (from Amazon)that sounds a 110db alarm if it's jostled or the thin retractable cable is cut (cheap insurance at $12). Fellow RVers would likely take note of that! ((c8

less than 12", you need an extension cord. Buy the 100 foot cord they offer you for under $30, it's a good deal and it lets you cover a lot of ground, just be careful not to run over it and cut it or you will be needing electrical tape to splice it back together!

Electric cord. A good extension cord will work up to as far as 100 feet if it is large gauge wire.

This is a double grounded tool. No ground pin is required for your extension cord. A 16ga. 50 or 100 ft. cord, should do the trick.

I use a cigarette lighter adaptor and plug it into this extension cable . You can find one on amazon .

I would think a good extension cord would be fine so long as it's under cover and if the cord isn't too long, but you might check with the manufacturer...the feral cat who adopted us loved her house...she has since moved to an enclosed porch but still likes her house!

I bought the big 100 foot yellow outdoor cord it suggested I buy. Do not use a cheap cord!

Extension cord . . . . is there an alternative? I suppose you could get a generator out there.....
