i know is has 30 amp conections, but will the cord carry 30 amps at a 50 foot length

Yes, the #10 wire is rated to carry 30 amps. This is the same rating of wire used in a home to supply a 30 amp connection. While not recommended, I previously used two extensions (100 ft total length) similar to this cord and had no significant voltage drop even at that length. I have had satisfactory service with this extension cable.

The #10 awg wire within the jacket should carry the 30 amp load with little of no voltage drop at 50 feet.

Yes it will, I have used my cable several times where my trailer cable will not reach the electrical box and have had no issues.

You need a 12 gauge extension cord. Not sure about 150 ft. I use a 12 gauge 100 ft cord and it works fine.

THIS PLUG WILL NOT PLUG INTO A 30 amp receptacle a standard 50 amp receptacle used for electric ranges

I believe it's 30 ft, or at least as long as the standard cord that came on the camper.

I wouldn't recommend it the more you hook together the more the amps drop. Could cause damage to equipment running under powerd at full load. For this reason I purchased the 50' rather than adding a small ext. to my 25ft cord.

You can use this surge protector on a 50 or 30 amp. But if all you have is a 30 amp surge protector, it will not work on a 50 amp. Most places we stay we request 50 amp service but if all they have is a 30, this surge protector will work. If all you have is a 30 amp camper, then all you need is a 30 amp surge protector. If you do get this 50 amp surge protector you will have to buy adapters to 30 amps.

I have 50 amp connector just like on diagram; I do have a 30 amp adapter when needed

Your power line loss is not enough to worry about with an additional 25 feet ( Total 50 feet) of 50 Amp extension.Happy trails,

This is only a 30amp extension cord. They do make one that you are looking for which is a 50amp. You should probably buy a "dogbone" of 30 amp and one that is adaptable to a 120V outlet. The 30amp is for campgrounds that don't have 50amp services and the 120V is so you can plug it in to your house if need be if you're not wired for 240V. Hope this helped.

50' would be pushing it. It would be better to use a 50' extension cord. The compressor is incredibly light.

Absolutely not. This item is rated at 13A as its maximum capacity, but that applies only for short periods. Carrying such a load for 20+ minutes would overheat the cord, shortening its life and possibly causing insulation to soften, risking an internal short-circuit. Furthermore, with only a 50 ft. length, you'd be tempted to add on a second extension cord, which makes the overheating problem even worse. For 50 ft., you need 14 gauge (14/3); for 100 ft., you need 12 gauge (12/3); 200 ft. => 10 gauge; and so on.

Not sure I can answer the question directly. I use mine for a 15 amp snow blower. I've had no problems with the 100' cord.

Yes it will work fine if you presently have a 30 amp cord cap on your shore line.

If you keep the run under 30 feet it will be fine. 50 feet should work, but for reliability and better life and performance would suggest RG-213 coax. It will rssist salt water problems better also. In either case be sure to seal the connectors with sealant.

I have two 50' cords connected for some of my operations. I've never noticed an issue.

I haven't had a problem with a 50' extension cord with 14 ga. wire. If you want to go 100', you should probably use 12 ga.

You will have to determine the amperage requirements for your RV and compare it to the ampacity of the cord, using a reference chart such as this one: http://i.imgur.com/r8aBf4p.jpg This cord has an ampacity of 20 amps, based on it's 12-gauge wire and 50' length. Ampacity depends on both wire size and length, so make sure to consider them both.
