Shore power plug conversion?

I was wondering if anyone has converted their twist lock shore power connection to something more robust?

I don't really like the current default setup where the shore power cable screws into the side of the trailer and sticks out.

I used to have a Class A motorhome that had a built in shore power cable, and it could just hang out a hatch hole on the bottom of the compartment.

Has anyone done a conversion like this? If you have, could you please share pictures?

The only thing walmart could do for me was refund my 14 dollars. But I did get to keep the masks.

Oh, I'll get my money back, either from the vendor, Walmart or from the credit card company. Fraud is the term that comes to mind.

I purchased online a new $800+ spotting scope for $58 this year, so weird things do happen.

Bummer for sure. My buddy said he ordered and got surgical masks. I thought it was a joke. But someone here said the same.

Are you guys going to try and still get the cord somehow using a return or exchange type of program?

No, I have yet to receive my package. USPS tracking has it in route to from Texas.

I received a notice from Sprey that he got something other than the cords.
I am going to delete any links to that site for false advertising.
Barney

Edit: If any of you DO get the cord instead of something else please also let me know.
I have already removed the links in the post but if that was in error, I will restore them.

SPRey, I was mistaken and the PM I received was from KMLsquared.

You bet, as I have purchased a total of 3, one about a week ago and 2 after I received confirmation the first one shipped.

SPRey,
I just sent you a private message. Look for red notice in upper right corner of your screen.
Barney

To the rest of the members who have purchased an extension cord via the link given earlier.
Please let me know, via PM, if you get what you ordered.
Thank you.

Will find out if I have masks or cordset today. I agree the best option would be RV Plug to Smartplug direct, but really didn't want to drop a few Benjamins.

The goal is to seal up all possible openings that bugs and critters can sneak in and having a nondetachable cable that snakes into a cubby hole is no bueno. This summer (we live in Willamette Valley) I saw hornets walking up the electric cord.
