StarDreamers.us Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Did it burn? Or get damaged? Safe Travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffMan Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Looks home brew - #10 AWG 4 Conductor = $1.58 / ft X 120 ft = $189 and you get a new rig. [Here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray,IN Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 10 gauge is for 30 amps This will not be adequate for a 30A circuit. the minimum wire size is AWG#6 for a 120' run. http://www.elec-toolbox.com/calculators/voltdrop.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark and Dale Bruss Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Where did I say #10 for a 120' run at 30 amps? I said #10 wire is what is usually used for a 30 amp circuit. The OP said he had 120' to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mayer Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Depending on the source power supply voltage you may be fine with the 120' of #10 for the 30 amps. But it "depends" and generally you do not want to buy something for the "depends" case. As Ray said, you really need the #6 if going that far. However, lets look at a practical application. I recently had circumstances that required 140' of power line. I made it up out of two #6 and two #10 cables (30'/50 amp+30'/50 amp+30'/30 amp+50'/30amp). The source power was a stable 125 volts. I was able to sustain a stable 118+ volts at my coach with up to 25+amp load. But I cheated with the 60' of #6. My point is that if you have good power to start with the voltage drop is not necessarily a show stopper. But you need to consider it, for sure. ESPECIALLY if you are going to be running air conditioners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesstapleton Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thank you for the insight. The electrical cord came with an RV I purchased. I don't have any history of using it, or knowledge of who made it, etc. No damage. So, 30 amps is what it seems it will work for. Price is now $125.

Retiredin1993 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 James, I would remove the ends and trim the wires back to where they look good and just sell it as a 118 or 119 feet of what ever size wire it is. Having those burned ends want help sell it. It might be great for some one installing a solar system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianT Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I made up some extension cords (two sections) years ago when I was parked about 100' from where I had to plug in. I don't remember the wire size but it was either #4 or #6 wire. The first thing I thought about when I read "120 feet" was how heavy this thing must be... until I saw the #10 wire. My cord is in three sections, the first being the regular hookup cord for the RV. But I know for sure that if I had all three of my cords in one box, that sucker would be HEAVY, probably heavier than I'd really care to handle with any regularity or even to carry around onboard unless I thought I was really going to need it.
