Thanks for the great leads everyone!

        I just checked out the Marinco power centers in a catalog. They
look great for twist lock plugs!
        Unfortunatly, I hate twist lock plugs (just a personal opinion made
after unplugging some conds inadvertently :-)    No really, I do want to
stay with the standards used in this area (CA,USA)  and that is a 14-50R
for 220V.
        Correct me if I'm wrong, but the outlets on the Marinco unit are
angled downward, and I don't see any nice way to plug in a standard 90
degree 14-50P in even if the receptacle was changed.
        I looked at some RV outlets at a RV shop, Good layout, breakers,
one 14-50R, plus two 20 and one 30 Amp 120V. It's ugly grey as opposed to
the Marinco units white and at $221.00 I figure I'll check out some other
sources before I buy that one.  Being a RV shop I'm guessing that's higher
than I can find at a  electrical supply.
