Keep in mind that any plugs near water such as bathroom, kitchen, outside plugs need to be protected with a GFI. You can either add a GFI receptacle or use a standard receptacle and daisy chain off an existing GFI receptacle. Determine where you are going to get your power for the new plug 1) if off main Power Distribution Panel you will need to install a GFI receptacle 2
if tapping off a nearby plug check to see if it is powered from an existing GFI (generally at least one is located in the bathroom). Trip that GFI and see if you still have power to the plug you want to tap off of. If power went off when you tripped the GFI, that plug is protected and your new plug you want to add can be a standard receptacle. If not, and you are sure there is no other GFI receptacles in the rig you will need to install a GFI receptacle.
Keep in mind when adding to existing circuits it is nice to know what is all on the circuit that you are adding to
ADDED: Remember to reset all the GFI's when done testing
