Where do electrical wires hide

I own a 90s Jayco popup 1006. I plan on installing a dorm fridge in lieu of the current ice box. I'm trying to figure out where to run my electrical wire/plug and extension cord. Does it matter as long as it's out of sight? Maybe run it under the sink and then through the long box that runs along the floor in front of the large bed. Then just cut a nice hole to bring the extension cord out to plug into the outlet? Sound like a plan? Or is this really sorry thinking? Any advice?

Does your PU have 120V power in it any where? My brother has a similar PU. We ran a circuit from his conver/fuse box, to plug the frig into. We snuck it through the cabinets, well hidden. Works nice.

I have 2 x 120V outlets. But it sounds like you're talking about something entirely different. What do you mean?: We ran a circuit from his conver/fuse box, to plug the frig into. How did you run a circuit from the fuse box? After googling this topic, running a new circuit is beyond my capabilities.Thanks for your advice though.

When I changed out my single mode Power Converter and cleaned up the rats nest of wiring behind it I decided to install all of my 12VDC wiring around my trailer using PVC tubing. Most all of the wiring that was associated with the new WFCO 8900 series Power Converter goes down below the trailer through a large hole in the floor and then went in every direction to where they was suppose to control things. I actually one time pulled a few of the wires off pulling my trailer through some heavy under brush.

I installed PVC electrical boxes upside down with removal lids in all of the holes that goes through floor and made a loop around the underside of the trailer using PVC tubing...

Now everything is safe from being pulled away by underbrush and all protected good. I can remove the tops to the PVC junction and pull cables through the installed tubing...

This pictorial shown in BLUE sort of gives an idea of what I have now... All of the PVC tubing under the trailer floor is run close to the frames and secured out of the way. The only cables visible under my trailer floor are the factory installed trailers lights wiring and the electric brakes etc wiring... Everything else is pulled through the pvc tubes shown in blue in the pictorial...

Another pictorial shown here what is installed on the top side of the floor in the cabinets etc...

No more rats nest of wiring going in every direction. No more getting my cables pulled out from going through heavy under brush...

I obviously have too much time on my hands hehe...
