Can this cord plug straight into my generator and my RV?

Only the generator side is finished, with an N14-50P plug. The other end is cut bare, so it must be hardwired or fitted with a connector before it can feed an RV or inlet box.

Is 6-gauge wire enough for 50 amps over 50 feet?

Yes. 6-gauge copper is the standard size for a 50 amp circuit, and the 50 ft run keeps voltage drop modest at full load.

Can I use it outdoors in rain?

The STW jacket is rated for outdoor and wet locations. Keep the plug connection sheltered or in a weatherproof box.

What is the extra 8-gauge wire for?

The 6/3+8/1 construction has three 6-gauge current-carrying conductors plus one 8-gauge conductor, typically used as the neutral or ground depending on the wiring setup.

Do I need an electrician to install it?

For a permanent connection to a panel or transfer switch, yes. The bare end must be terminated correctly, and local code and permits apply.
