Jon, I have the same Camco plug and I have had only one problem with it. One of the screw anchors broke, the one at the front, nearest the ground prong, and it made it difficult to pull out of the outlet. I got one of these: http://www.coilnwrap.com/products/PLUG-DOGS-50-Amp-4-prong.html It takes a lot of the stress off of the handle and the rest of the plastic plug.
I also made up an extension cord with male and female Leviton plugs on each end. I leave the male end plugged in (inside the garage) all the time, so I don't have to worry about the difficulty of unplugging it, but one of those 'Plug Dogs' would help with that as well.
An alternative to filling the Camco plug with epoxy would be to pump it full of silicone RTV. That should keep things in place too.
