If you plan on using 1500 watt heaters it is good to replace the OEM 120 volt outlets with ones that have screw terminals. I've done all of mine except for the gfci in the bathroom.
Those OEM 120 volt outlets are made/rated to not need to be installed in an outlet wall box. While standard home receptacles, most with screws are required to be installed in a box. It is also required that the wires have 6 inches of wire beyond the opening of the box before they are attached to the device, receptacle or switch.
Most RV walls are not deep enough for a receptacle box.
