I just put in the hot rod water heater element and thermostat in my 1989 tioga and now i need to find a way of supplying power to it. Ive crawled under the rv and looked for the 120 volt wires but i guess they are all ran inside the walls or some place else. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've installed two of them. Since I wanted a factory finished look l ran wires directly to the breaker box, then added a lighted "when on" switch to control it.

Hmm, guess I got lucky . . . the closest storage bay on my '91 Sunflyer has an outlet in it. The rod kit that I got on eBay came with a cord that reaches. I just plug it in when I need to use it. I roll it up neatly when I don't need it and it fits inside the waterheater compartment.
