Should have! good for plugs, sockets and outlets

We use this cord as the main power cord wherever we plug in an RV. We leave the factory plug in the camper and use it to make the electrical compartment easier to keep clean as we can wipe it off the outside and roll it away from the camper and then plug it into the compartment. We had to use the old one we had a couple of times when our campsite had pedestal issues so instead of moving the rig they let us connect to the next site as it wasn't rented out for the rest of our stay . Unfortunately

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • low repairability

Excellent extension cord, I've used it before!

We went camping on Isla Blanca and were lucky enough to get a spot with a direct view of StarBase to watch the spacecraft launch (and land) last month. For some reason, the campsites had their backs to the water (and the starbase), so we turned to enjoy the great view from the large windshield. We needed a 50A extension cord to make the car air conditioner cooler and drier. On the coast of the bay it is hot and muggy even in early May. The cable is very durable and comes with a carrying handle.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Exterior

Suitable for Tesla Model 3

Although Tesla does not recommend using power strips to charge cars, I would make an exception with this product. It's a beast! Heavy, thick ladder construction is used throughout. I use it at home to charge my Tesla Model 3 with the mobile charging adapter that came with it. No problem. I measured less than 1 volt edge to edge drop when charging at 32 amps. The cable is rated for 50 amps, so I don't use the extra current carrying capacity. The Tesla charging adapter gets 32 amps warm, but this

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Expensive

Great cable and price

I received an email from Camping World that these extenders are on sale. I checked out their website and they wanted around $140. I really needed the cable and almost ordered from them, but I checked out Revain first. Surprise: It was much cheaper here. Hooray. It is finished. Excellent line. My stock 50A power cord that came with my fifth wheel is too short to reach my house to connect and charge my bus batteries. I've used other extensions but they get pretty hot at times, especially if I…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic

Looks like a good quality cable

One of the things I wanted to know when purchasing was the cable type. The description doesn't cover this so I will. I received the STW cable which means the outer shell is thermoplastic and not thermoset. Thermoset material is much more durable than thermoplastic. Also, it is STW (not STOW), so NOT oil resistant. Ideally (for me at least) the cable should be SOOW so I know it will be the last cable I will ever buy. So for me the STW cable is 2 stars and the value is 4 stars because the price…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

Works great with a constant 40 amp load when charging an electric car

I took this extension cord on a nearly 6000 mile trip with my 2015 Tesla Model S 85D and this extension cord allowed me to easily reach it 240 outlets in 4 friends/family houses we stayed at to charge our car for the night. I ended up using NEMA 10-30 and 14-30 adapters to be able to charge from dryer outlets and just used a NEMA 14-50 charging extension cord. It's heavy and bulky, but it fits easily in the trunk and we could fit a ton of other things in it. The purchase is definitely…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Great for expanding an EV charger (or other load) up to 40A continuous

Measured: 30' 3" long. 21 pounds 1.05" in diameter. After plugging in, checked the voltage at the outlet and was within 99.9% of the measured output voltage. Started with a 10 amp load for 20 minutes (an increase of 5 amps every 20 minutes), up to a 34 amp load with no noticeable (manual) temperature rise, either on the cable itself or at the ends of the connector.(The load cables were the only part of the system that I used a temperature change and it was constantly plugged into an outlet or…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
