I have used extension cords with the ends cut off to run 12-volt power in vehicles and trailers. The conductors are insulated, held together inside the sheathing, and are very flexible. I don't know if that's advisable for 120-volts, but if a good quality SOOW (the old SO) type extension cord is used, I think it might work.

I agree, SO cord is a much better choice and also Romex will most likely fail at some point. Jerry you can usually get So cord at Lowes and sometimes Home depot. If not any electrical supply store will have it.
