The RV receptacle is the box and outlet all in one. You need to purchase the old work style outlet boxes with the "wings" that flip up and tighten to your wall/paneling to hold the box in place. Some spots, like behind the microwave, are easier than others. I replaced an outlet in the wall and required the shallow old work box and bought one with a side panel for extra wire space. They are blue and made by Carlon. Home Dept carries them, Lowes does not (in our area). Use a good quality receptacle matching the amp rating of your breaker - do not use ones with a "stab-in" in the back, only ones with clamp plates or wrap the wire around the screw.
