The Marinco inlet is a good choice (But expensive).
Another posibility is to replace the electrical "hatch" with a slightly larger one and use a 30 amp pigtail just long enough to pull it out and then use a standard shore-power extension cord.

No not making a suicide cord, there is not a female receptacle mounted outside....I think you miss interrupted what my intentions are. We now have a pass thru hatch where we have to pull the cord out of the hole in the side of the 5er. The holding area for the cord is not large enough to hold the cord after I put the hardwired Progressive Industries EMS box in there, so I am wanting to cut the 30 amp cord, add a female plug and make it just long enough to be able stick out of the side and then add a male plug to the cut end of the rest of the 25' shore cord so we can plug them together.
