I need to install a 12v outlet under the sink; where would you suggest I wire it into? (an electrician I'm not)
Thanks in advance,
Bob

I would steal power from the 12v line running up to the over sink light. It, and the 120v lines, can be accessed by emptying the under sink cabinet, then removing the added back and side, you should find 12v and 120v wires under there.

This assuming it's just for charging phones etc.. If you need to power a CPAP or something, run a dedicated line from the fuse box.

It's for a CPAP, so how do I get a line from the box to the slide?

Go out the bottom and back in, or pull through where the existing lines are running. If you pull out the power distribution box, you will see a spot where all the wiring for the other side of the camper disappears into the floor. Use the 12v line already running in there to pull a new 10g wire pair, and then pull it back with that pair.

I like this option. So there has to be enough slack in the line to accommodate the slide travel.

Yes, if you just run it along with the 12v line already running over there, it will be fine. The slide actually only moves a bit more than a foot, all the power water and gas lines do fine..
