1999 Cardinal.  I think one cord is for 120V -- not sure of the other.  Both are aged, greasy, and saggy.

Anyone know of a source for new coil cords like this?  Should I bother? or just tie them up out of the way?
 
Probably going to need a better phrased question or maybe explain what exactly do you want to know...As always pics would help. :)
 
You can't tie them up, they need to move back and forth when the slide moves in and out.

A screen door type spring might provide enough tension to keep the wires from sagging, but still allow them to move with the slide.
 
If they are coils you may be able to string a bungee through the middle that is tight enough to hold them up when the slide is extended.
 
Google "retractile power cord" if you want to buy replacement wire.
 
I had a similar issue, I was able to zip tie mine secure to the bottom of the slide, making sure there were adequate loops to ensure enough slack would be present when extending the slide.
