English term or phrase: Shoreline connection
Context:

"Shoreline Connection
The 120-volt system is connected to an outside power source by way of a special shoreline connection located in the rear storage compartment on the driver's side of the vehicle. The shoreline consists of a heavy-duty cable with a 3-prong plug.
To connect to shore power, remove the storage compartment panel to expose the cable. Pull the cable clear of the panel opening and connect to the outside power source receptacle. Then, replace the panel."

A "shoreline connection" or "shore power" is evidently a commone enough term in connection with motorhomes and RVs, possibly aka. "campground hookup", but I can't find a more camping-specific term than "Stromanschluss", although I'm sure there must be one.

* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above
* Document type: Motorhome manual
* Target audience: Motorhome/camper van/RV drivers
* Country and dialect (source): English (US)
* Country and dialect (target): German

Asker: Danke, leuchtet ein, aber hier wäre Caravan nicht ganz zutreffend. Spricht man auch von Stellplatzanschluss?
