Note the comments already on that article with references to over current
protection and bonding the ground. As for the "marine" grade cable standard
non-metallic (NM), sheath is acceptable. Almost all RVs use the standard
stuff. The main difference usually with the marine grade is the tinned
conductors. The "B" indicates the temperature limit. NM-B is for 90C which
became required as housed were better insulated and 60C was failing. Romex
is a brand name.  The over current protect is required since at some point
you will tie into the campground that has only a 30 or 50 amp receptacle and
you will use an adapter. The OC device needs to be within a few feet of the
cord entering the vehicle. Think like the service connection in your house.
If that main has to more than 5 feet away then there will be a main breaker
outside.

Did you try to call & I did not answer? I apologize but I never answer
numbers I don't recognize because I'm tired of sales people trying to sell
me life insurance, health insurance, Obama insurance, merchant services,
very expensive money and the latest, greatest "guaranteed to make millions"
investment.
