Switch over (everything)to the NEMA 6-50 plugs, what’s commonly referred to as a NEMA welder plug, (it's what the Big M puts on there’s) here's a link to 25' 8/3 cord with molded on 6-50p and 6-50r lighted ends, rated at 50A for pretty cheep. ($66)The male ends can be found on Amazon as well for about $12. the L14-30 plugs are commonly used on generators if you go that route but they are only 'rated' at 30A. If you want over 50A it's a big step to something like a Hubble 4100 (100A) like a couple hundred bucks for the connectors.

Just MHO. Take it or leave it.

That will be my next step. The old plugs I use are hard to get anymore. I like the price on the extension cord, so I think I will do they same. I have about 7 50 amp plugs at $22 each. Ouch.
