Jerry,
  It sounds like you have a "bulkhead connector" on your trailer. Most 
units today don't use them, just hardwiring the cord to the fuse or 
breaker box.

If that's what you want to do, just get a pigtail w/plug from an RV 
place and connect it to the fuse box. The pigtail will be 10-3 cord, and 
you need to be certain to connect it properly. The white wire will go to 
the "neutral" connection (a buss bar with other white wires on it), the 
black will probably go to the 30-amp fuse, which is probably a main 
fuse, the green will go to ground. Do NOT connect the neutral wire to 
ground in any way!

And your advice was correct about anchoring the cord inside the trailer. 
You don't want someone's tripping on the cord to yank it out of the fuse 
box!
