My TH came with a twist-lock shore connection.
The one with the threaded outer collar is the route to take. Twist lock plug plus the collar. The collar helps keep the cord from rotating the plug out. It is nice to be able to completely disconnect the shore cable and roll it up (throw it in the underneath storage or in the truck bed) and hit the road. No more feeding cable into the trailer.
To completely replace just the female plug connector and housing (with new threaded collar+housing) of my shore cable, cost me ~$80 from West Marine (72nd and State). I had a poor connection on mine, destroyed the cable end. I was able to replace the trailer innards (male end just as shown in your picture) for about $12 from Home Depot.
It is going to cost you over $100, but it will be done right and is a decent mod in my opinion.
