I bought the female Marinco connector on Ebay from some RV joint for 45 bucks...the male from Camping World for what ever it was and 20' of cable for less than a hundred bucks from the supply house.
Follow the directions and it took about 5 minutes to put together.
I saved over a hundred dollars doing it myself.

As you can see, in my post I suspected this was not the standard $25. 30A cord, but you didn't say. So see Bevar's post above, he has the right idea. Or pay the price that's marked up 100%. That's the standard markup for stuff like that.

My 300' 2 gauge cord was just cut at my storage lot too. OUCH!!!
My solution is to go buy a warehouse and park inside 
Actually I'm somewhat serious, been wanting to do that for a while and now is my excuse. Good investment right?

My face is red from embarrassment but I found the cord in another storage compartment all nicely rolled up. The Onan repair guys must have used it and put it in another compartment. Now I have two! I am still not going to leave them in the storage compartments due to the theft of copper going on. I should have looked in the other compartments but just thought it was stolen due to not being where I normally keep it.

I'm sorry to hear of the "missing" power cord. Some other posters were correct when they mentioned copper thieves at work. I know that next time, you will ensure that a theft of your power cord will not happen.

The above is the main reason I keep the bins locked.
The theives taking copper are really brazen.
There was a story the other night about them taking the wiring from the lighting along the freeway here.
There were two guys caught with a small truckload of copper tubing from a new housing development.

If you are just plugging in to keep batteries alive and use light loads you can just use a light weight (cheap) cord. I use a regular extension cord on mine when stored.

Today it is copper, a decade ago it was construction supplies from new home developments. Apparently it wasn't a good idea to "park" next to one with the girlfriend. Took a while to convince the cop I had enough money I didn't need to steal 2x4's.... Ahh the good 'ol days...

Tulse had a couple of bright guys that tried to hack some wire from a sub station. One died and the other is now wishing he had, besides the serious burns I heard he lost some anatomy. Any metal is up for grabs, manhole covers and grave markers are being taken too. I am quite willing to give out free lead if they really want it, LOL
