31 BHS power cord

Power cord actually came out of trailer while driving. Frayed and worn through, plug damaged. How big of a job is it to replace cord? If I do can I make it a 40' with 10 guage Romex and new plug?...

Time for new AC

2005 31 BHS in great shape has a failing AC. Time to replace the unit. Can anyone point me to a source they like for purchasing a unit? Can I install myself? Should I go bigger than original unit?
