adding elect outlet?

I have a 2013 Montana 3000rk the only out let for the coffee pot is in the corner behind the sink. I was wondering if I could add a outlet between the sink and refrigerator on the refrigerator wall. Its a pain to get behind the sink to make a pot of coffee. Just wondering if extra outlets can be added like the microwave had a out let that it plugs into thought I could use that for a elect source.
What do you all think.

The microwave outlet is probably dedicated just for the microwave. I would guess that by adding something else to that circuit you may trip that breaker every time you are running the microwave and brewing coffee. That would be the only problem I would see.

You can not run a wire through the external wall as it is foam filled. Interior walls are hollow but you may run into a brace that will block running any wire. I don't know if the microwave is dedicated or not, but a quick look at your fuse/breaker panel should tell.

My thoughts are that the Microwave/convection oven and a coffee pot should not be on the same circuit. Tom's point is also well taken. I'd look for the power somewhere else or plug the coffee pot in in a non-traditional place.

I have a 2013 3100RL and had almost the same problem. I was making coffee on the stove top as that was one of two outlets in the kitchen area. The other outlet was used for the toaster. We have a wrap around counter and the wiring for the vacuum cleaner is under there. I removed the Keystone supplied el-cheapo single plug outlet that supplied power to the vacuum (only item on the 20 amp circuit) and replaced it with a GFI outlet under the sink. I came off that outlet with 20 amp wiring to the end of the counter top and installed another 20 amp outlet where I now make the morning coffee.

Hi Leon,
I don't know your kitchen layout, but here is what I did on my 2007 3400RL
