block heater charger inlet

I don't like the way the male end of my block heater plug just hangs out on top of my bumper. the cap is constantly coming off which exposes the plug to moisture

as an alternative, I'm thinking of installing one of these Marinco 15a/125v charger inlet units, right through the side of the fender. has anybody else done this?

When someone gets a good idea around here, it usually winds up in the FAQ section, AKA "The Stickies".

Here's the one, about 5 down in the first group.

FYI, there is a power plug primarily used by emergency vehicles that will eject the plug when you start the vehicle. I imagine it is rather expensive but saves many power cords from being ripped out a wall. Just my two cents, Mike.
