Default High Amp electrical connection in truck bed

I'm putting a 50+ Amp wire into the bed of the truck to power a second battery in a camper. It's only needed for a few months of the year so I want to put a connection in the bed that is easily hidden/protected the rest of the year. Due to the power requirements the standard weatherproof cigarette lighter connections just won't cut it.

So far I'm thinking of an SB120 Powerpole connection as I can't find any receptacles that would fit into the side of the truck rated for that much power. With the Powerpole I want to install a box integrated into the side of the bed (so its flush and can't get caught when the bed is used) so I can store the connection/cable when not in use. I'm struggling to find anything that would be suitable. I know there must be some purpose built designs for this, could anyone suggest any?

Thanks.
