Question for folks with RV's / Campers

How long of an electrical cord do you typically need at campgrounds and state parks? My camper came with a 25 foot cord, just wondering if that will be long enough. Thanks in advance ...

25' will be enough at most parks but I'd buy a 25' extension to keep handy because nothing sucks more than backing in, setting up and... oh shite the cord doesn't quite reach!!

most CG's have the electric box on the driver's side, so it's only a few feet away.
Every once in a while, we'll get a camping spot w electrical box that seems 1/2 a mile away!
I'll have to run the power cord under the RV and keep a close eye on the kids.

Yeah the 25' will be fine the only time I have had an issue is when they put the electrical pole in the middle to front of the site as my 32ft wild cat 5th wheel has the electrical hook up all the way in the rear. You should have at least two lengths of sewer hose though as I have even had to hook three lengths together on sites that had the sewer line placed past the back of the site and my sewer dump is in the forward 1/3 of the trailer. Most campgrounds place the power pole near the back 1/4 of the pad and the sewer connection near the middle.

I have more of a problem with the electrical box being too close and in the way of my slides.

I have run into that one too on several occasions. You end up having to park over to the other side then your stairs put you off of the pavement
That and some of the places i have been must have been laid out by someone that has never backed a trailer as the spots were almost perpendicular rather than on an angle with the direction of travel on the road.

I have used my extension exactly one time. One particular pad at Indian Creek. I don't even pack it anymore.
