wall receptacle in the kitchen

[fivernine]

In our 2008 Cape Cod, the two overhead receptacles are okay for some things, but the height to the bottom of the cabinet is too long for some things. If I plug in my toaster, it looks like a possom hanging by the tail. A can opener is out of the question.

I fished a wire from the overhead receptacle through the cabinet shelf and down between the desk slide and window. This is a good spot for one.

Good Job! This is something I may end up doing. The wall of the spice cabinet may be a good spot. I don't know why they didn't put a couple on the wall instead of all of them on the bottom of the cabinets. Guess it was easier. Aaaw! Another project!

I felt the need to add additional outlets in our BigHorn as well. Toaster and Coffee pot enjoys a shorter reach to Power Up.

I just picked up a breaker at the home center... and 25 foot of wire. I was able to run the wire from the electrical panel under the steps - Refrigerator - drawers & Kitchen Sink. Then cut two holes in the panel below the counter top.., and mounted two boxes... connected the wires... and was pleased with the results....

Nice job Marv. I am suprised that you had to get a breaker, thought the all the slots in the breaker panel were already full, used or not?

Great looking work!

Marv, that looks great! I didn't think of using that location. They look perfect in that spot and that is an ideal location for these short-tailed appliances. Really SLICK!!!

Not all the slots were used... and there are still a few left.

Tested the Solar System this week and it worked well. I will need to one day replace the batteries... I gave up two when I traded the old RV... and don't want to mix new with these 3 year old ones.

On a good note... I have power when we're dry camping !!

Marv and Karen,
That looks great - we are going to look into doing it here at the factory.
Thanks for the feedback.

Coley,

Thanks for the reply and kind comments !

You'll probably need to Make the First Outlet a GFCI.... so you'll feel a little safer.

Luv This BigHorn !
