Adding lights in ceiling

Did a little searching on the forum and really didn't find anything. My coach has a couple of halogen recessed lights above the right side of the kitchen. It really could use 2 or even 3 more lights spaced equally apart towards the front of the coach to cover the rest of the kitchen counter. Has anyone ever done anything like this? How hard is it to fish wires above the ceiling? I haven't pulled one of the existing lights out to look, not really sure how all that comes together.

Not sure how they did yours back then, but mine has a false floor in the cupboard to house the recessed lights. Try removing the microwave and I'll bet you find wires back there which feed the existing lights...just tie into 'em.

Thanks for that, but the lights that I want to extend are actually in the ceiling.

Has anyone tried fishing wires through the ceiling? If that's possible, I could just run wire from fixture to fixture.

Anyone?

I ran a 120 volt wire through the roof of our '02 DSDP to add a ceiling fan in the bedroom. Took one of the Thinlight fixtures down and ran the cord to an overhead cabinet then to the TV plug in. Didn't take very long to do either and was still working fine when we traded the rig in Feb.
