I, for one, am glad that GM fitted the 50 Amp power cable. I have had an electrician install a 50 Amp/240 Volt receptacle (and a 30 Amp/120 Volt) on the side of my garage. I therefore have the capability of running BOTH A/C units and anything else in my coach when hooked up here at home OR at any RV park with 240 Volt service. I cut most of the original power cable off at about five or six feet and installed a new male 50A plug on it. The remainder of the original cable now has a female connector on the cut off end and provides a much more easily handled (and stored) extension cable. I also bought a 30 foot 240 Volt extension from the RV Adventure store that is also fairly easily handled and stored and have a total of 50 feet plus of power cable available.

The 30 Amp outlet would be good for any friend with only that service to hook up in my driveway!

In this part of the USA, two A/C units running full tilt are an absolute necessity during summer temps of 100 plus!

Dolph, your friend is correct, kinda. GMC built coaches WERE fitted with
that miserable 50 amp service cord.
But the coaches that were up fitted by Avion, Coachman, and a few
others, were fitted with 30 amp service cords, and a whole bunch of
different style breaker boxes and 12 volt fuse layouts. Also "BUZZ BOXES"
were somewhat different, as were battery locations. Makes life interesting
when you work on a bunch of different coaches.
