How many interior electical outlets?

How many interior electical outlets in 2002 2720?

In the pics of the 2720 I'm looking at, I'm only seeing one next to the fridge and one in the bathroom. Does the rear bed have access to an outlet? ETA: it is a 2002 model I'm considering.

My '06 had a plate next to the converter I made into an outlet for the bed area. Counting that I have five outlets inside.

I have 4 dual plugs inside and 3 out, one next to fridge, one next to stove, one in the bathroom, one at bottom of bed (by feet before you step up.

Plus 2 on the door side outside and one on the hookups side

Sure you don't have one plug under the stove and one on the stove counter facing the wardrobe ? One you have by the bed is the one I added (wiring was under a blank wall plate.

Can't quite picture what you're talking about--on the stove counter facing wardrobe--but I am hoping there is one there for a microwave or coffee maker. I'll go back and look at the pics again. I'm going to look at it Friday, so I guess I'll find out.

I was trying to find a picture and mine is closed now but if you do not have (or remove) the optional drawer that goes between the stove counter and the wardrobe, you should see an outlet on the side of the stove counter (covered by the drawer when in place).

A recent change to NEC requires an outlet next to the breaker panel for residences. That would be next to the converter in an RV.

We have 3 outlets inside. Next to fridge, cabinet next to oven on wardrobe side, and in bathroom.

The one below the stove where my microwave/oven plugs in is not visible, you have to reach behind the stove and down to touch it but is a conventional duplex outlet.

ps no way the sofa is 48x75, bed area less arms is more like 48x60.

We have dual outlets next to the fridge, in bathroom, hallway at converter, drawer next to the wardrobe and 2 outside in our '05 2619

For completeness sake, there is also one behind the refrigerator.

Before you go messing with the outlets, upgrade your breakers to AFCI+GFCI for safety, if they are not already upgraded. This would be a good time to upgrade the converter if it's the old WFCO one, it doesn't regulate and doesn't take care of the battery as well as a modern 3-stage charger. I recommend Powermax, see http://perens.com/rv/2016/04/04/boondocker-brc4-60-converter-not-as-specified-on-their-site/ regarding why I don't recommend Boondocker.

I consider the one behind the fridge as an outside outlet because that is the only way to reach it.

OK there is nothing wrong with the WFO circuit breakers and fuse system, it is just the converter board that is less than stellar.

Some time ago a much better replacement board was mentioned but cannot find it.

Think a "super system" would use a Xantrex Freedom HF1800 charger/inverter and keep the WFO distribution. Have not built one yet but my RV had a 1KV Heart-Freedom and they have specific settings for Wet and AGM.

I thought the question was how many inside? Yep we have the ones outside and behind the fridge. Don't know about behind the stove for a microwave?? We have an oven?

Very helpful info. Except when you start talking about inverters and converters and fuses. That's like a foreign language to me. My engineer husband can read those posts and interpret for me. Thanks, y'all! We are going to look and hopefully buy a TM tomorrow!

"Less than stellar" is an understatement. It's an early 1970 design in a 2000's camper. Relies on the battery to filter out the remaining AC instead of having a big enough capacitor. No zener diode voltage reference and no conventional linear regulator, it's a thyristor adjusted with a potentiometer. Single-stage charging.

For the price of a power supply module that would fit, we could replace the entire converter and it was just easier.

I am not going to put a wired-in inverter in my TM. It's just too wasteful. I had some electronics that used 5 volts (Raspberry Pi 3 and ethernet switch) and 24 volts (PoE injector for WiFi dish) and I just bought buck or boost converters for that.

Several posts have mentioned the dual outlet behind the refrig, accessible from outside. Be aware that this outlet is not part of the GFI string, and so is not protected.

The so has one at the base of the couch too
