power for new reclining loveseat

Hey everyone, Happy camping 2019. We have the chance to pickup a 10 month old Thomas Payne power reclining loveseat for 1/4 of the retail on a new one. My problem is that our slide out doesn't have power to it other than the overhead lights.
The seller has said that the loveseat is 12 volt so I was thinking I could run a line from the light over the loveseat, hiding the wire behind the trim. We never use that overhead light. Do you think that is a large enough gauge wire to power the loveseat?
  • Probably not. You need to know the wattage draw of the love seat. Then decide the wire size and fuse size of the circuit. The wattage of the motors will be on a label on the motors. Use the wattage to figure the amp draw.
