Water heater
Our used motorhome came to us with an electric\gas water heater..Problem is the electric part is a HOT ROD add on,with an extension cord that has to be plugged in around front of the kitchen cabinet....

Your option is best but you can easily run that romex to a spot behind the heater (inside the MOTOR HOME) in fact if the gas/electric model you buy is a Atwood that's where you need to run it anyway,, install a 15/20 amp SIMPLEX (or duplex) outlet there and plug in the hott rod.. Electric heat normally takes about an hour to recover by the way (heat the water).
IF you choose a DUPLEX. you can drop a line down into the wet bay (Assuming enclsoed tanks) and plug in a string of C-9 old fashion (large size) Christmas tree lamps and perhaps a 100 Watt trouble light.. Plugged in via a T-Stat type outlet adapter (Sold at farm type stores for stock tank heaters) it does a great job of defrosting. (About 10 degrees worth in my case, one string of C-9's and a 100 watt caged lamp in the other end of the wet bay (Caged is in trouble lamp)
