Starting, releasing the parking break and putting it in gear WILL damage your cord.
WHY? The guy sounds like he is smart enough not to run over the cord or move far enough to yank it out of the power box, and even those activities probably won't actually hurt the cord. Most of us have "auto disconnected" our rig'e electricity over the years and the only damage is to our pride when the neighbor frantically waves us over and tells us we are dragging our cord behind us. But that is not what the OP is asking. He is asking if he can move his rig a couple of feet with the cord plugged in without any damage and the answer is easily "yes" I do it often to jockey the rig a foot or two to make the satellite lock on. Others often do it to drive up on a leveling block or move the door a foot so they don't step out onto or into something. Very common.
