I am planning on doing the same replacing my pull-out 30AMP Shore Power cable. I will add a second flip lid 120VAC 15AMP outside receptacle that is fed by my on-board 1500WATT PSW AIMS INVERTER.
My plan is use an short adapter to power up the new 30AMP outside receptacle from the 1500WATT AIMS Inverter. This will be my poor man 120VAC transfer switch... This can also be used for extension cords I may want to run inside my house when needed...
I also already have a AIMS 600WATT PSW Inverter feeding two 120VAC Drops one at the home entertainment area and the other back by the bedroom area for more emergency 120VAC items.
I am working on something like this floor plan for my OFF-ROAD POPUP camper. Most of it already done.

I also had a bad case of ANTS and other critters climbing up the pull-out shore power cable. I got into remembering to fill in foam around the cable filling in the hole real good which helped a lot...
My current cable lid has the slide down metal piece around the cable coming out of the hole. This pushes down on my piece of foam I have around the shore power cable.

My shore power cable resembles a 6-lane highway going both directions with the small sand ants when camping on the east coast at Myrtle Beach.
