The Marinco solution is the best, here is a cheaper one
you will need.. one each TT-30 Outlet and Plug.. Tools including knife, Hacksaw and screwdriver(s).
Pull the cord all the way out,, About 6" above the ground (if possible) cut cord using hacksaw (NOTE DO NOT PLUG IN)
Tress and trim the RV end and install the plug
Dress and trim the shore cord end and install the outlet, Thus converting the shore cord to an extension cord.
NOTE: for 30 amps you need to be able to cut back and install new plugs (And sockets) from time to time,, Stock 2 TT-30 plugs and one socket in your spares.
The reason for this is that 30 amp plugs tend to ... melt.
