Shore power connection upgrade question

[RiversToTheSea]

My shore power receptacle is in bad shape. It works, but the terminals are corroded, the gasket is shot, and there's some rust near the fascia. I did some internet searching for new RV shore power receptacles but nothing matches the Eurovan rectangular form factor.

Has anyone found a good replacement connector that matches the original? And how hard is it to replace- it appears to be behind the water tank so accessing it from inside looks to be a huge PITA.

This is what you want to use. Don't bother trying to find and old metal one, just get one of these: https://www.eurocampers.com/EuroVan-Camper-Exterior-110v-Electrical-InletOutlet-and-Cover_p_305.html

The cover (and outlet, which is attached), mount to a standard metal electrical cutout box (a metal box used for outlets and switches when the wall is covered - so they do not attach to any studs).

You should be able to do all this work from the outside.

I found it. It's the black wire. No, it's the orange/green wire. No wait, it's the orange wire. No, hold on, it's the black wire for real.

I am cutting all this janky crap out and doing it right.
