i am taking the jackknife couch out and putting recliners I. It's place getting ready for retirement end of the year leaving the cold and snow for a few months.
Now I need it wire an outlet in the slide of out 261ks so we can put a table lamp on the table we are going to put between the chairs. Anyone have an idea?
Thank you for all the help

A battery powered lamp perhaps? I would imagine that running a new AC line would be pretty difficult.

If this is a model with the refrigerator in the slide, simply run wiring from that box and install an outlet (not a plug) inside.

Last year we removed our jacknife sofa and replaced it with a double recliner with power recline which runs on 120 volts. Our 262RKS has the fridge in the slide and it was super easy getting the 120 volts from the fridge receptacle to a new receptacle. Have you measured the front to rear dimensions so that the new recliners will fit okay? The slide depth in the 261/262RKS models isn't very deep. Even the Harrison wall hugger recliner we used that has one of the shortest front/back dimensions out there was too deep. I ended up making a frame from angle iron so it cantilevers a few inches over the edge of the slide floor. (Plywood end tables are just a mock up.) The trim around the window is also low and will interfere with some recliners. Our Harrison recliner has a lower seat back height and just barely clears the window trim. FWIW, I also added an on/off/on (3-way) switch at each end of the slide for the puck lights in the slide ceiling so that we can turn them on or off while sitting down and a new receptacle with USB charging ports (above the frog).

Yes a narrow space and took over 2years before we were able to locate the recliners
My jackknife couch was removed this weekend and lazy boy recliners installed getting ready to run the electric from the fridge
Now on the look out for a 10" x 18" side table to go between the recliners
Thanks for all the help
