The camper supplement to my owner's manual lists a power cord, and goes to some length to warn the user about not plugging it in to any except the correct outlet -- as if one could.  I have a power cord like you described, and I assume it is the cord that the camper manual lists.

No such mention is made of a hose in the manual.

My van is a 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Campmobile.  Tan, waterboxer, manual transmission if it matters, Scott.
