Since my cord is long I put a simple overhand loop in it using a cable tie. After plugging into the camper I leave the cord out until the camper is on the bed. Then throw the loop in front of the wheel well and feed the cord back to the bumper. I use a couple of cable ties to secure it behind the bumper.
If you can reach it, use the existing plug in the bed. I wouldn't go drilling more holes.
