Turn the power OFF at the pole before connecting to the trailer to avoid damage as shown in the photos. The water heater is typically turned on and you'll get a 15+ amp spark at the plug.
Replacing the whole cord is not necessary. The Roo trailer connector is a standard marine (read expensive) 30a 110v AV twist lock connector available at boat sources; the shore end is a standard 30a "RV" connector you can buy at Home Depot for probably under 10 bucks. This is 110v 30a, not 230v. Different than a dryer plug for example. Read the labels on the connectors or you'll get the wrong plug.
