Most all shore power connections are 30amp. They all use the twist lock connectors then feed tat to your panel. Run a couple 15 amp breakers off it to feed your other stuff. You can run a 20amp side without any issue. Don't any need for more then that with what you have listed (Hot plate and coffee pot is the heavies).

Then put in a panel

Right on thanks very much alldodge I have a inlet already along with some sockets I got on ebay that came out of a beneteau, so on that link you sent me the blue sea 8077 would work for my needs?? And clearly I won't be installing this myself I'll leave it for a pro just trying to say some cash where I can

Thanks again

You can put this in your self, but understand if you decide not. The better part of a man is to understand their limitations. Very few men will actually admit they have an issue and then explain to the insurance company what happened.

The 8077 should work fine for your configuration

Talk to your pro about any additional stuff you'll need, like a galvanic isolator. I understand you're trying to save some cash, but I'd personally be a little leery of buying used electrical equipment. I installed air conditioning in my boat this year, along with a new and separate 30-amp shorepower circuit. It wasn't cheap. I used this panel, which includes a 30-amp main breaker and 2 branch circuits. I'm using one branch for the A/C. The other is reserved for a couple of additional 115-volt outlets I plan to install. You might want to put your outlets on one branch and the battery charger on another.
