Has anyone found a supplier for a wall mounted 12 volt plug I can use to run power from the front of a car to a camper on the back.

Hi,
NEUTRIK make a plug & socket combo called Speak-On...designed for pro-audio use [ read tough as boots to survive roadies!]
Available in various pin combos [ I use 4 pole & parallel pairs]. The sockets can be chassis mounted so your wires are hidden, unfortunately i haven't seen a cover for the socket.
The design is handy because no power is applied until the plug is twisted...also has lockable ring....doesn't come adrift.
I think Jaycar has them.

Hi Austravel.
Have a search on the archives for Anderson plugs I posted a heap of info on a cheap source with part numbers (Farnell Electronics in
Sydney $15ish a pair). If you can't find it PM me & I'll dig it out again.
Also, don't the Anderson plugs have a hole in the middle with a premoulded recess to suit a nut & bolt to mount them parallel to a surface? I thought the last ones I used did but I'm not certain. Then all you need is to use a grommet or cable gland to provide a reasonably sealed entry through the van wall and protect the insulation of the cable.
Regards
Dave
