I found that the 120VAC breaker box part of our IOTA Load Center (120VAC Breakers, 12VDC Fuses, Converter/Charger All-In-One) had a spare position for an additional breaker. I found that one breaker (actually one side of a paired breaker setup) had TWO circuits on it. By breaking the dummy tab out and installing another breaker(15A/15A) I was able to divide that doubled circuit into two, and add another outlet to use for an electric heater. Didn't do anything for the overall 30A capability of the RV, but it added convenience and reduced the times a 15A breaker would trip. I had plenty of depth and access to the back side. Used an Old Work box. Straightforward, useful result, satisfying project.
Oh, our bathroom is where Jayco located the GFCI outlet, so it's not a mobile home-type installation. It's in a box that protrudes from the wall surface. Not sure if there's a cutout under it or not, never looked. Wiring itself, though, is in the wall and not a surface wiremold.
