From an efficiency point of view, having it before the cord is fractionally better, but probably not sufficiently so to worry about too much.

Don't skimp on the cord.
From a keeping ownership of the autotransformer point of view, having it next to your RV is probably better, especially if you can have it inside the RV or chained securely to it.
