Adding a 110 V outlet to my slide?

One easier way of adding 120 volts to a slide is installing a 15/20 amp power inlet on the side of the slide. Pedestals always have 20 amp receptacle since they are required by NEC except in older CGs built in the 60s that pre-dated the NEC requirement.

To get 120 volts into a slide, they use a flexible harness/track thingy that flexes as the slide moves in and out. Sorry, can't remember what the correct term is. We have one for the fridge in our slide. Looks like some work to install, esp. if you have an enclosed underbelly.

Many RV's have 110 in the slide (mine does) and it's just a flexible wire feeding it. Just make sure it clears everything when operating the slide and add grommets to any holes it has to go through. Maybe use "soow" cord.

Does the new couch have a transformer where it plugs in the wall? If so it's stepping the 110 down to a lower voltage and you may just be able to extend the wires on the couch. Might be safer and less work than running a new 110 outlet.

Electric couches! We sure have come a long way since we were living in caves ;)

Well,...I think it does have a transformer, I'll have to find out what the voltage is. If it were 12 volts that would make it much easier. Good point.
Thanks.
