Agree, but if a person has no special crimping tools, soldering gun or heat gun a simple wire nut will be more than good.
A wire nut can work, but....
You need to be sure that the two wires are well twisted. That can be difficult if one wire is solid and the other multistranded.
You need to be sure the nut is of the appropriate size.
The wires will come out of the nut pointing in the same direction. If you need a 180 degree orientation, leave plenty of slack to avoid pulling on the wires.
For an RV subject to lots of vibration, consider using plenty of electrician's tape to secure the nut.
Maybe I should have added "done properly". YES, I already mentioned the electrical tape.
I worked with GOOD Electricians for 35 years as a Construction Superintendent so I know a bit about proper methods.
