Out door lighting

We pickup up our 3400RL a week ago and I am just now realizing that I do not see any outside A/C plugs. Am I missing something, are they hid somewhere? I need outside A/C for my rope lights plus I use an electric griddle outside cooking alot. I have also been known to hook up a fan on a stand for bug control. I guess I am going to have to rig up something to come off the camp ground pole.

Yep, there it is - the white thingy right between and just below the windows on the couch/dinette slide. I don't know why I didn't bother to look there. I keep checking around the steps, underneath, by the shore power plug-in everywhere except looking up. Thanks guys.

Mine is right next to the basement door on the curb side. Also have one inside the door on the wall just to the left. Also have an antennae connector there for a tv to use one the patio.

It's just about the right height to hang a Christmas Wreath from the slider... otherwise, I don't know what it's good for up there at 6' off the grd.

That is one thing I could never figure out what Keystone was thinking? Why not put a plug closer to the door or inside the basement. Having the outlet on the sofa slide is somewhat out of the way, in my opinion...

I've wondered about the position of that plug, too....under the LR/DR windows, 6 feet off the ground. Almost useless.

we use that plug all the time. We run the rope lights on the awning and run an extension cord around the arms of the awning and plug the lights into a timer that we place in the plug.
Happy trails.................

I installed an outlet under the awning arm next to the door on my unit. I hooked into the junction box under the slide and put the outlet in a more convenient place for awning lights, etc. I plan to extend another outlet closer to the front of the unit for an extra outlet of anything else, I will come out of the electrical panel into basement.
I was like others, what were they thinking putting the only outlet in this place.

I do use that outlet on my slide as I have Malibu path way lights that are set up under to coach. They come on at dusk and go off at dawn. Just wish there was a better place so I do not have to have that extension cord hanging there all summer.
