The problem I have with the set up you show in the picture, is that it will have a "Hot" plug inside that cover. If you were to reach in, you'd get electrocuted.:(
It would make more sense to have an outlet type connection, and just make your shore cable a double male (one at each end). It would be much safer.
Keep in mind, YOU may know it's "live", but some child could go exploring, and get killed. At least try and make it "code".
Good luck
What he showed will not be hot. The Camper side plug is a male and the cord will be a female or the hot. The plug on the camper is only energized when the female cord makes contact. I did the park power conversion to my rig after a bad receptacle melted my plug. I now have a park power cord and the old cord I converted with the parts that came with the conversion kit. Personally I like this system better. No "exploring child" will be killed by what he showed or is proposing to do.
