    Do the math. At WM, _two_ 30 amp fifty foot shore power cords will cost
    you $90. One fifty amp cord will cost you $520. You could replace your
    two thirty amp cords _five_ times before you would break even.

    You will always be able to find some place to plug in your 30 amp
    cords. The same is not true for a 50 amp connection (unless you buy a $120
    adapter). You will not carry less weight; a fifty amp cord is more than
    twice the weight of two thirties.

    Best,

    Steve
