Adding a new 120 vac circuit and outlet

In my last several RVs, I've installed a new, dedicated circuit and outlet for a space heater.

It's not often that I have electric hookups, but when I do, I use the space heater for heat. I don't camp when the weather is below freezing, so there's no need to run the propane furnace to circulate warm air around the holding tanks. In this scenario, a small space heater is all I use.

Both were easy upgrades because the new outlet location is close to the electrical panel with easy access to everything.

Mine new circuit starts with a storage area plug on a unused circuit. It has 2 drops and both are located inside of a cabinet for easy space heater use and storage. Back to the plug in the storage area where the new circuit uses a standard male plug. When I'm on a 30A pedestal and need the heater I run an extension cord to an available pedestal plug.
