How Do You Effectively Use The Electric Oultet Under Your Cabinets?
Notice that a standard surge protector power strip was secured to the wall. The power strip cord was also secured to the wall and under the cabinet with screw-in wire holders.
This makes a neat application utilizing the otherwise useless under-cabinet outlet. Also notice that Velcro strips are used to hold the top transformer in place on the surge protector power strip.Labels: Electrical, Interior

I did something similar. I used the velco to stick the transformer to the plug outlet on the side that doesn't work. By the way, anyone know why they put a two plug outlet but only one side is hooked up? It stays put even with all the bouncing on rough roads.

This might utilize an awkward plug outlet, but I have to say it looks tacky. If I have a nice-looking interior, I don't want it ruined by cords hanging all over the place. A better way might be to have a longer cord that runs all the way down the wall to floor and get a "covering" (some kind of cord trim?) for it so you can't tell it's there. (Just one female's opinion.)

If possible, get a plug strip with a flat plug where the wire comes out the side of the plug. This allows the wire to be fastened flat to the bottom of the cabinet, and keeps from having a wire hanging down in the way. I have several like this in our MH, and it works great.
