Cut the Lance plug off and wire a standard Bargman style plug in. The diagrams are all over the internet. It has been the industry standard for years and years so it will only make things easier at the end of the day.
Purchased my Lance in 2006. Swapped the socket in the bed over to a Lance socket. I don't know why one way or the other would be 'easier'. At the end of my day, it has worked fine and I have never had to change it.

Easier because if you someday end up with a 5th wheel, you have the right plug already installed in the truck. Easier if you ever buy another brand or need to haul someone else's camper in a pinch (or if you need someone to haul yours). Easier to replace failed plugs with one from auto parts rather than Lance's one-off one.
Sure it's for a larger charge wire but few actually use that or even have the large wire on the truck end of things. Lance's custom plug is like Betamax, perhaps better but not widely adopted makes it a nuisance.
