Hey everyone. Wanted to add a few AC outlets in the areas that will be best used. Seeing that the factory wiring runs up the wall and across roof, makes me wonder best way to accomplish this. How have others done this?
Sorry- I have a 2014 Evo 2850.

It is just a little harder than adding outlets in a home.
1. Can you access a path between an existing outlet and the new one. (Cargo area under both)
2. Remove old outlet if outlet is snap together type you might have to install a old work box with hose receptacle.
3. Run wire between these locations
4. Install new snap together receptacle at new location
5. Connect wiring at old location.
If you do not understand these basic steps call a local electrical for the install.
I added 3 new plugs, each on their own new circuit. It was not too bad. The hardest one was run to the rear for the new fireplace. Had to remove the panels under the camper to run that wire. That was a pain, but the rest of the project was fairly easy and straight forward wiring 101.
My trailer is smaller and I didn't need an outlet far away from the fuse box
so it was easy for me.
My panel had extra slots for new breakers. I used the typical plug in breakers found at Home Debit (Depot).
I put my extra outlet in the toe kick area near the panel and use it for
a space heater.
That way we can make coffee and be warm at the same time without
tripping a breaker. Also since the toe kick area was accessible by opening
a cabinet door I used an "old work" outlet box which was easy to install.
All are different. If you can't go thru a cabinet you probably will need to go
underneath to get from breaker panel to outlet location.
Good luck!

There are no outlets in our main slide and it certainly would be nice to have one so we don't have to run extension cords to plug table and desk lamp in - or the computer or DW's sewing machine. Problem is, how do you get up through the floor or side wall? All of our other 5r's had at least one outlet in the slide.

The main concern would be protecting the wire as the slide moves. I would order the wire protector that is installed in other campers before adding a receptacle.
I need to add two outlets near my rear bunks and one near the sink. Can't believe there aren't more outlets. Any hoo, I'm in the same situation where I think I will have to run conduit underneath and attach to one of the crossmembers being careful of my slide equipment. Finally got all to do project just need some time.
