Kind of hard to describe what I'm looking for here. I think on RVs and 5th
wheels, and I know on the 'beer wagon' get from the distributor for our
church festival, there is a 'reverse' receptacle where you connect an
extension cord to power the lights and such. This device looks similar to a
single receptacle with a flip-up cover, but under the cover is actually a
plug (male) rather than a receptacle (female) connector. You plug the
female 'outlet' end of an extension cord into this, and the other end into a
power source. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

What I want to do, if I can find such a thing that would fit on a standard
exterior electric box, is mount one on the back of my house with the wiring
running to a standard outlet mounted in my basement. I'd then be able to
plug a cord from my generator into this, and then supply my freezer, refrig,
lights, etc. from the outlet in the basement. This would keep me from
having to run the extension cord from the generator thru an open window in
cold weather. Also when it wasn't in use it wouldn't be too obtrusive such
as a plain old wire running thru the side of the house.

Any thoughts on this? Or other ideas for something along these lines?
