90 degree turn down plug suggestions?

I'm not a fan of the straight receptacle-style plug that comes with the 5th wheel, it's gotta put strain on the inlet.

So I'm looking for suggestions on a replacement 25' shore power line with the turn down style plug (50 amp). I want to make sure I get the correct one that the female end fits the inlet correctly.

I found this one on Amazon, any suggestions on a better option? https://amzn.to/2LzcHiV

I was looking at the adapters - any problems or complaints about it?

I have this one. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I works good and is shorter than the original making it easier to work with. I had some extra 6/4 SO cord so I made two extension cords about 15' each. So far I have not needed them.

Not the same adapter as the picture but made the same and I've used it now for 6 years with no problems.

Several ways to do this. The adaptors and cords already mentioned will work for sure. The way I list below does require a little work...

Since I already had Camco 55562 dogbone https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005SB6TLA...v_ov_lig_dp_it
all I did was cut the end off the "factory" cord and put on the Camco 55353 receptacle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00192QB9M...v_ov_lig_dp_it basically making it a long extension cord.

I already had the existing dogbone I listed above to hook to shore power at my shop along with a 10ft 50amp extension cord. So when I go somewhere and want to hook up to 50amp service I have the dogbone and two different length extension cords I can use separate or together depending on the distance I need.

I did not have to spend $$$'s for another dogbone this way and the threads on my "factory" cord had become pretty bad so I was not opposed to cutting the end off that plugs into my camper.

Goes to show there is no right or wrong way to do what you want to do. I have found the Camco Dogbones to be very durable and reliable.
