I like the way Mex put it. They are Fifteen-Amp Receptacles, yes. BUT... There are probably three or even more of them on one 15-Amp breaker. RV's don't tend to have the circuits divided up anywhere near as well as buildings.
Then again, the RV is very limited in its TOTAL electrical supply. You have a Fiver? You probably have "50 Amp" service, but if it's wired right, 12000 watts available to you. Our coach is 30 Amp, and that's only 3600 watts. So in a way, it doesn't matter how our circuits are divided up. Two fully loaded 15 Amp circuits and we're done.
