Adding electrical outlet in bedroom - ACE 29.2

I searched, but did not find anything.

Has anyone added a second electrical outlet to the bedroom in an ACE? It seems the outlet and USB ports are all on the right side with nothing at all on the left.

I did on my ACE 27.1. What's under your bed? Seems like if you have an outlet on one side you could just daisy chain off of it, under the bed, to the other side. That's what I did.

I have AC outlets on either side of the bed, pre-USB era, midway to the feet. What is it you need? Do you need 120VAC or can you get away with a USB port?

From the storage bin lights under the bed you could tap into 12VDC for a USB port, what is there for power under the mattress storage area? Or you could also run wiring from the RH side to the LH side over, thru the cabinets.

Thanks for the ideas all. I would prefer 120v so I could run a fan, laptop etc. I was thinking of connecting to the exiting outlet and going through the overhead cabinet initially, but wanted to see what others had done. Under most of the bed is the large rear storage and the foot is the water tank and breaker box so I could tap in there as well I believe.

Sounds like you have multiple easy options especially with the power center under the bed.

If you are going 120V, then make sure the receptacle has the built-in USB (of sufficient amps) to power the gadgets too. There are many styles to choose from.

Thanks all. i think I am going to run a line from the breaker box to the opposite side of the bed. It's not an ideal spot, but seems the easiest.
