If I had (and had any suspicion of using) a block heater on my motorhome, I would be mighty tempted to wire it up to the RV electrical system, possibly using some sort of a timer switch. That way, there's only one cord to plug everything in, and in really really cold weather one could, at least in theory, use the generator to run the block heater when dry camping. (Getting the generator started is left as an exercise for the reader.)
If it were permanently wired, one wouldn't have to worry about unplugging the block heater--just the RV as a whole, though admittedly that's probably about as easy to forget.
