BTW: The cabinet under my TV came with a receptacle in it that is the only outlet on the breaker for that circuit. I hope you're lucky enough to have the same setup.
Another BTW: RVs aren't covered by the NEC. You'd never get away using one of those cheapo RV receptacles in your house - and their production shouldn't be allowed. They're horrible!
I agree. The RV backstabs are far from ideal at all, but take a look at some of the house backstab outlets that are ok by NEC code. IMHO they are worse than the RV backstabs. I'm referring to the backstabs with a v shaped single contact point, not the "backwire" that use a screw and plate to capture the wire.
And the self contained backstab outlets are approved for mobile homes for sure, AFAIK they are also UL listed and approved for stick built homes. Although I have never seen one in a stick built home.
And yes, I did replace the RV outlets with pro grade backwires outlets in retrofit boxes.
