So far we've never used the 15' extension. With the old 30' cable I did have a few occasions where I would have to reposition the trailer so the cable would reach the power ped...barely. In my recollections I seemed another 6' would fix those past situations so I found the 36 footer and went with that; so far it has fit everywhere we've been (we only stay in commercial RV parks). In your case with the existing 25' I think I would just go with an additional 30' cable. That would give you either one to use at a site (whichever one fit best) and then a total of 55' if you needed to use them together. Keep in mind I use an 18" sacrificial extension at the ped that goes into my EMS (probably another 18") which would give me an additional 3' over the standard length of my cable.
