73 Canyonland. It's just outside the bath. It's not close to a roof vent. So it can't be for a roof A/C. Bob Dunahugh

In my 73 there are two 110V receptacles near the bathroom door.

Many of us have the same electrical box in the same place.
It is in the hallway outside the bathroom so that an electric razor, hair dryer, etc can be used in the bathroom without having an outlet in the bathroom which could have a problem with running water from the shower.
Probably all the GM built ones (not Coachman Royales) have them including my 1977 Kingsley.

In my 75 palm beach, 12-2 wire leaves the breaker panel,
Feeds that outlet. Then continues on to feed the rear A/C.

Emery. We've only ever had dry bath GMC's. That one went right past me. Would it be a good idea to move that plug to a wall in the hall? For vertically challenged people? I put all 8 of my 12V LED ceiling lights in our GMC on 2 wall switches just inside the entry door. Then the 4 LEDs at the rear can then be turned off while in bed. Bob Dunahugh. Lost in a GM completed coach. Any ideas to make this GMC special would be welcomed.

My palm beach has a single green wire with a plastic connector plug just
aft of 12v light wire/ceiling outlet. Any idea what that was for?

I always wondered why there is an outlet up there. Now I know.

It’s also a handy place to plug in a vacuum cleaner
