Had the same thing happen. Here is how I fixed it 2 years ago.
This works best on a hot sunny day.
Pull the cord all the way out it storage area. Starting at the trailer, grasp the cord with one hand while sliding the other hand toward the plug. This will push the outer insulated sheath towards the plug. As you get near the plug place some glue (I used some Gorilla Glue I had)on the end of the insulation and a little inside the plug. Finish pushing the insulation into the plug and wipe off excess glue. Allow to dry.
Another vote for this- the plug looks in good condition.
But- for a replacement, I highly recommend this one from Progressive Industries:

It has captive wire lugs- most of the others just have a screw you wrap the wire around, and some of the big box stores have the hard plastic cheap ones that break if you drop them.
