Need kitchen 120Volt outlets

Our Axis does not have kitchen (sink and cook top area) outlets.
I understand why but still would like a place to plug in a tea pot when we are camping and not using the sink or cook top.

There is an outlet in the cabinets above this area. Any ideas for something that can drop down from the cabinets and then be pushed up when using the area?
Something more than just an extension cord through a hole?

The spousal units favorite mod.
It takes up about as much interior shelf space as a single coffee cup

I'll get more/better/detailed pictures if you want.

It was a hole saw and a screw driver to pry the panels loose.

Our Citation has 2 gfci outlets mounted in the kitchen area.
Have you checked into adding a gfci outlet?

Here's one on amazon.

I thought the 1st post was a joke. What a bizzare name. I wish I had seen that before I put an extra inverter supplied receptacle under one of the dinette seats.

There's lots of useful/cool stuff in my thread,
It's structured just like garage conversation between five or so guys hanging out. You have to pick your gems and ask the questions as the conversation skips by.

I wonder if they may all be connected in the bathroom circuit?

I need to explore more. The learning curve is not terribly steep, it just that there are several systems to learn.

Let me take it back, that "connectivity" thing with internet, wifi, cell, starlink, router is fairly steep for me. I understand air pressure though!!!

According to page 3 of 4 in the electrical schematics for my 25.6 the Bathroom GFCI control’s these outlets:

Double outlet on the end of the sink cabinet
Double outlet by the passenger seat for the work station
Single outlet behind outside tv
Double outlet on outside wall
Double outlet in storage compartment below tv

Yours might be similar

I have 2015 Axis 24.1. There is a junction box inder the kitchen cabinets. If you remove the lower drawer (under the stove) you should have a nice access to it. I discovered that when I was getnting rid of stove by rebuilding the kitchen cabinets and adding new countertop. I ran my wires from there up thru the fridge wall and than back (behind the fridge) thru the wall were cabinets is. I assume tunning the wires from above countertop cabinet will work as well.

Another take on adding an outlet to a 24.1. Plugged into microwave outlet using a splitter.

That is a very good spot for morning coffee pot.
That splitter is a great idea. Is the 14 inch long enough?


Thank you

Don't buy from the referenced link - those prices are crazy - do your own search for "power cord splitter" to see better options.

The splitter does just that - splits the outlet, 14" is normal. The outlet has a 12.5 foot cord.

Thank you.

There really are a bunch of options once you know what to look for.

Yes my links were good last year but now show unavailable.

I also wanted 14awg heavy duty so I paid slightly more than the cheapest splitter I could find.

Splitter was $6.99
Outlet was $15.99

Hardly crazy.

Your link, same buyer, 2-pack in stock, $92 Prime, Not Crazy?????

That's $46 per splitter. That's why I said do his own search.

Yes, those are the items I bought last year but as I said, I bought a single splitter $6.99, single outlet $15.99.

Hardly crazy.

Neither are available right now through that seller. It at least gets someone started on their search.
