Has anybody added an additional 240v socket to a T6.1 ?

Just resurrecting this thread as I want to add another 240v mains socket.

We often use two mains powered devices and have a two way adaptor that plugs into the socket at the end of the sink. However, I'd like a more permanent/elegant solution and wondered if you had found a suitable location/solution for an extra socket.

I'm aware of the power limitations etc of campsite EHU power, but many larger motorhomes have multiple 240v sockets so it is certainly doable.

Done this few days ago,might be of use to someone. Also the BLUETTI charger will work with most power stations.

I added an extra skt in the rear cupboard. Just generally useful. Wired straight into the RCBO.

Directly from the leisure battery under the fridge. Easy route. Fused obviously.
Route to usb follows speaker wiring.
Harness wrap tape matches existing.
Added a couple of flex lights also.

For the lights, did you consider if a 'spur' could be taken from the single switched light underneath the overhead cupboard? I wondered if I could buy a spare of the centre kitchen light and install it in the base of the cupboard...
