I'd like to install a new power outlet to use primarily for my toaster oven. The only circuit that I can tie in to is the circuit that the water heater plugs in to. Are other outlets typically tied ...

Why did you need a way o run the heater separate from the RV service panel?
We usually run our water heater on electric. My wife also likes to use an electric fry pan for much of her cooking rather than the hot gas stove. In addition, we usually have the coffee pot going and use the microwave regularly. When it is warm outside, we run the air conditioner all the time.
All of these things run through the trailers 30amp system so in the winter, we run the heater off the extension cord. In the summer we will usually run the elec fry pan off it. We have never blown the trailers breaker since we started doing this. Still have to be carefull with the air conditioner, microwave, coffee pot, water heater combination though. Can only do three of the four at the same time or often the trailers breaker will trip.
