Right back at ya Cody, and every one here :) No card but did give it it's first add on, a new sun visor which SunchaserArt and Cindy gave to us at the Q rally, it's red so's that qualified as the perfect Valentines gift. Eagle is still wagging it's tail since I installed it LOL! Happy Valentines day All!

No card gave my bus a hug.  :-*

And yesterday I installed the new 50A shorepower cord I picked up for a bargain on the bay.  Between the primary cord and the extension I now have 85' of 6-3 +8-1 shorepower cord.  Enough to reach the 50 amp receptacle we are putting in at the shop.

Not to stray too far...
Wouldn't 85 feet require 4 gauge wire for a voltage drop of less than 3%?

Indeed, if I run a full 50 amps on either leg, that is what the wire gauge calculator says.  But in my bus, there is zero probability of running that many amps per leg and I have my panel pretty well balanced.  We have been living on 20-30 amp (total) connections for most of the last 3 years.

Interestingly, another calculator specs the resistance at .0402 ohms.  Plugging that and 50 amps into Ohms Law seems to indicate a voltage drop of 2 volts.

Anyway, I doubt this is what the OP had in mind for this thread.  So back to Valentines Day!  I trust you are doing something really nice for Cat today.  If not, she has by encouragement to give you lashes with a 4AWG wire.   ;D

I just saw where a man in Albert Lee, MN made his wife of 37 years a 1/2 mile wide heart.......made of cow manure.   She loved it because of his creativity.
