There are plugs through out the MH on this circuit.
No way would I even considering backfeeding the power with your suicide cord. Having to remember to unplug it, turn the breakers all back on and after travelling a day remembering it before plugging into shore power, your looking for a disaster. As we age, you must relate going upstairs in your house to get something, and when you get upstairs wonder why you went upstairs. Why have a solution with risks, instead of just doing it the right way for an additional $50 .
I use a K-Cup like style single cup coffee maker. It is labelled under the Betty Crocker name and the rating on it is 1000 watts. It uses around 600 though.

I didn't know such a thing existed. I might have to swap out my DPDT switch with one.
