etrailer and Amazon are just a few of the many sources but I would use those 2 first.

They arent too bad usually you can pick up a new end at your local autoparts store. Last one I bought I think was like $7. You'll need a small phillips and possibly small flathead screwdriver. Pay attention to what color wire is where. If you need any help feel free to holler! here's a diagram that should help as well.

The shore power plug? Or the umbilical that you plug into the truck with?

what I plug into the truck, but it was in the middle of the wire so I want to replace everything into the camper, it looks like some sort of junction box that the wires go into under the camper.

It's called an umbilical cord.

You can buy these with the plug already on them and various lengths of pigtail attached so all you have to do is open the junction box you referred to and and replace wire for wire.

That's mostly a PITA connecting wires.
Me, I ran over my shore power extension cable two days ago just starting to mow the lawn. Just a 77' 20 amp 12awg from the garage to my new TT parking spot ;(. I now have new 47' and 28' extension cords (1.5-2' destroyed). I still had a second 77' to use. I had made several 12awg SJOOW extension cords from a bulk spool for my sound systems, hence the odd lengths. I made 2 77', one 90', 2 40', and one 30'. Additionally, I have a couple premade SOOW 12awg 50' with those huge rubber Windsor 4 ways on them and several 14awg 15'.
Haven't installed 10awg to the garage for a 30amp supply yet. Don't have a 10awg 30 amp extension cord anyways, just a 25' or 30' shore power cable.

You're asking for a friend, correct??

It is fairly easy to replace them. You can get the replacement connectors at quite a few places. It is the same 7-pin as on any trailer. Walmart has them, lowes, home depot, etrailer, amazon, autozone, etc.

Verify where each color wire goes to in the new plug, I have heard of people getting chinese made ones that the colors did not connect where they were supposed to in the plug.

With 7-pin plugs, it is easy to confuse the wiring because there are actually 4 views. Make certain you are looking at the right schematic.

TV: Male blade view
Terminal view
TT: Female blade view
Terminal view

Old school was to use masking tape to mark the plug with a number for each terminal and numbering each wire. Today, it is easier to take a picture before starting the work.

7 pin plug replacement

Just be sure that the umbilical cord is properly routed back to the vehicle and that it has not been shortened by trimming wires. That happened to me one time and every time we turned right the cord would snatch itself free from the tow vehicle. Made for some entertaining stops.
