Hi everyone! ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
We only have 1 x 240v socket it our MH. It's in the middle, at the end of the kitchen. When we're using it, we have to connect an extension to power 2 laptops and a 4 socket USB adaptor (for phones, camera battery, power packs etc). This extension ends up on one of the seats (so we don't trip up over it on the floor) and then have the inevitable array of cables coming off it. It all ends up looking like Spaghetti Junction....and it drives me mad!! Aside from this, I know it's not the ideal setup because sometimes the USB adaptor gets hot so we end up having to charge one thing at a time, which also drives me mad. On top of all this, if I want to make a cuppa, I have to unplug the extension to use the kettle!!! OK, I could use the 12v kettle but that takes 30 minutes to boil!!
So, how easy would it be to get another 240v socket fitted, please? Ideally, it would be great to have a second one somewhere near the table but how would the cables be routed from wherever they start, so that they're not on show? Is that even possible, or will it forever look like a retro-fit? Or is there some other solution that will be safe and tidy at the same time? Thank you![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
PS We do have 2 USB sockets in the rear bed area, which would be great for charging the phones etc., but we have to have the main lights on for the sockets to work!!
