I guess the question is "what are you running and what else do you want to run at the same time"?. Then that would determine if he needs an extra OUTSIDE 15/20 amp hookup in addition to his 30 amp.
I would still think he could run a separate 10 g romex from the existing breaker panel (with its own 15 or 20 amp breaker) and route new wire to where he needs the outlet.... but I could be wrong.....its happend before.... dont tell anyone.

On a 30 amp coach? It's easy to overload the standard 30 amp input:
AC - 17 Amps
Water Heater - 10 Amps
Now plug in your coffee pot, toaster oven, or even microwave oven to cook and you're over 30 amps easy without even taking into account minor loads like TVs, converter, etc.
He wants the additional 15 amps available, he doesn't want just another outlet. Makes perfect sense to me.
