Kempert -

I agree about the mousehole and the always-breaking cover. But there is an easy alternative. Just push the cord all the way back through the mousehole, then push the plug through the mousehole, too. The whole thing drops into the small compartment under the left end of the rear bumper cover. Now you can store the cord by simply coiling it up in that compartment - even when it is cold. And in the center of the coil, there is just enough storage for a couple adapters, so they are always handy. When you arrive at the campground, just deploy the amount of cord you need, no need to unpack and lug the entire cord. And no need for an electrician, or an expensive heavy-duty power plug/socket pair. This setup is especially handy when it is raining and you don't want to mess with the "elaborate" solution.

BTW, you can remove the bumper cover by releasing the rear corner latches. That takes the pressure off the cover, and it slides right out.
