Do you have an outside TV? Isn't there any 120 V receptables in the basement of your coach?

Happy Trails

I use rechargeable solar LEDs. I roll them up and store them when not in use.

On my 2004 MA, there is a phone outlet inside just below where the power awning wires exit the coach on the outside. I fished wires for a LED light into the phone outlet then a short wire track over to the passenger consul and connected the LED to the outside light switch. The LED comes on when the outside light is on. I ran the wire outside up the awning bar and attached a stick on strip just under the awning.

If the kitchen is on the curb side, you may be able to come into the coach via the backside of a cabinet and run the wiring inside the cabinet to wherever there is an under-cabinet outlet, if any.
