Extension cords

[medphys]

Going south for the winter and will probably need ann extension cord to recharge overnight from an dryer outlet. Should I make or buy a 25 ft extension cord for the charging? Any suggestions?

Thanks

If the quality of ready-made cords is as "good" as here, I'd suggest building your own (you know how much copper is inside). Of course if you know what you're doing...

Test it out at home to make sure the voltage drop is reasonable at 24A first.

I ordered a 25' RV extension cord. It works great.

At my rental unit I have this 50 foot NEMA 14-50 running from a 14-50 outlet from a 50amp breaker and charge at 32A and it works perfect! No difference from at home whatsoever.

Heavy-duty NEMA 14-50R extension cord for RVs, EVs, etc., 50 ft.

If you have a 4 prong outlet, those are available commercially. see link above.
The 3 prong ones are harder to find.
If you do buy one, make sure its rated for amps and a UL spec is desired.
If you end with a DIY solution, the most important thing is obviously your / operator's safety and least important will be insurance implications in case an accidental fire were to result.
