In your case. since you need the pump outside, I would either enter the RV via the electrical bay or simply put a short, FUSED lead with either power poles or flat-2 Automotove connector pictured by a prior response direct to the batteries (unless the fuses are closer)
alternate route.. You can follow the water lines up into the interior, and likely follow them till you can branch away to the fuse panel. (How I do it). if you wish as well.
Whatever you do. FUSE IT.
