So ... you want to go from the pedestal to the EMS with Romex, right?
If this is a permanent site, go ahead. If you are touring, the Romex will be a PITA to roll up and store. Also, it is not designed to be flexed over and over.
I don't understand why you want to do this. Why is attaching the flexible shore power cord to the EMS a problem for you? Why would you not want to keep the power cord designed to do the job on the job?

I am not wanting to use Romex from the pedestal to the trailer. I have a normal black power cord for that. Instead of pulling the power cord out of the mouse hole on the side of the camper I replaced it with an outlet so now all I have to do is plug in the power cord on the outside. Marinco & Furrion both make these shore power conversion kits. The point of my thread is the wiring from the back of that outlet to the EMS to the convertor.
