Heh...to have the same resistance as a 25' 14AWG cord, a 100' cord needs
to be 8AwG.

I don't think I've ever even *seen* an 8AWG extension cord.

RV's have pretty large cords. My travel trailer
is only 30 amp, but I think the cord is either 10
or 8 gauge, Don't know what trailers and motor
homes with 50 amp service use, but it has to be a
minimum of 8 gauge, maybe 6 gauge. Course most
are only 25 feet long.
