Tapping Into 120v Question
I should know this, but don't so here goes-- Can I cut the three 120v wires to a receptacle and insert a set of wires to another receptacle so that there are three wire nuts each with three wires? ...

If you do make a wire nut splice it needs to be in a box and accessible. Can't just bury and hid a splice connection in the wall.
Well, actually you CAN, and you can probably get away with it. But that's not the right way to do it.
And an RV is not a stick & brick house. You "can" get away with a lot of things like this in an RV. Who's going to inspect it?
But, it's still not the "right" way. The "right" way is to have the junction in an electric junction box, or added at a light, or a plug where the junction is accessible.
Nothing wrong with wire nuts. After attaching the wire nut, tape the whole thing up with electrical tape.
