As for routing the wire I drilled a hole in the drivers side of the steel structure that holds the fan. This allowed access to the adjacent Styrofoam duct that runs the length of the coach. The back of the ACE has a panel attached with 6 screws that when removed exposes the camera and other wiring. Using a long drill from Home depot I was able to make a hole in the 2 by 4 at the end of the cooling duct. This got the wire to the very back of the coach where the camera wire, etc is. There is a channel in the back wall that runs to the RV floor that was very easy to route.
Now I need to purchase a pigtail splitter that allows 50 amp to 30/20 amp connections. Just in case the campground wire pedistal doesn't have a normal plug next to the 30/50 amp.

Here's the splitter I bought on Amazon to power my added A/C. It works great.
