If I read this right you want to replace existing 30 footer for a 75 footer. Amazon sells 50a 75 footers with male/female ends, you could cut off the female end and tie it into the TT. Or Home Depot sells the cable but you would have to add the male end.

Wow that is a long way. You can get 50 footers and other sizes like 25 and 36 footers from Amazon and etrailer. But - it's cost will be $323 for 50, 153 each for 25s.

But my thought is, are you going to use 50 amps? Do you just need to keep batteries up in storage? Then you could run a common heavy duty extension cord and a inexpensive plug converter. But you won't be able to run your ACs and you may not have power everything. If you are in a very temperate area you could probably run the occasional microwave or tv.

The most inexpensive thing to do would be to go to an electrical wholesale house and buy SO cable and a Camco cord cap from Amazon.

Hopefully one our electrician members will chime in.

Spend some time to ensure this is the way you want to go. Make sure to purchase the correct cord, both from ensuring the correct ends and for voltage drop. Voltage drop could become a major issue if you purchase a light weight cord.

From my quick 15 minute search you will need a "6/3 & 8/1 SOOW Flexible Cord with NEMA 14-50P to 14-50R" ends. A cord this size will weigh about 55 lbs
