I had this problem this winter as we had to take the camper on the road several times, but I keep it plugged in 24x7 too. I ended up with 2 - 50 foot 30 amp extension cords.

I would NOT cut the cord on the camper unless you switch over the type of plug where you can unplug the cord completely from both ends. When you're using the camper this summer, you'll be glad you kept the full cord. Beside, those 30 amp extension cords don't sell cheap either! (They average about $2.00 a foot depending on where you purchase them).
