Does anyone know how long the shore power cord is on a 190?  I don't pick my unit up until next week, and I've got a trip planned for the week after so if I need more cord I'd like to have it.

Thanks,

Mike

I would think it's the same as on the others, which I think is 25' feet.  I know I don't normally have problems reaching the pedestal.

Thank you sandersmr.  Being totally new to RV'ing, I had no idea that there was cord stored onboard.  I just assumed that there was a plug and everyone used an extension cord.  Learning by the minute here!  Cool

You will have a heavy duty cord rated for 30 amp service with a special 30 amp plug.  A regular extension cord isn't heavy enough.

Some RVs have cords that plug in at both ends, but our trailers have the cord stored in an enclosed compartment and fed through a fitted hole in the side.  The trick is to shove and feed that cord through the hole and then get it in far enough for the cover to close without the plug falling through the hole.  At least on mine, the plug will just fit in the outside compartment.

It's a lot easier to deploy the cord – just reach in, grab the plug and pull straight out the amount you think you will need.

Yes, a regular extension cord would not be a good thing.  Some of the state parks here have quite a distance to the power supply.  May be getting one of these in the not too distant future:

Make sure you get the 30AMP!
