Why is it they cannot find a way to at least put in 1 plug in behind or beside each sitting area (couch/chairs)! If your lucky 1 of them will have 1! Is there a easy way for a non electrician (besides extension cord) for someone to do it? Thanks

The short answer is "No, there is no easy way to add outlets in your trailer" other than to use extension cords.

If you can provide more detail, it may be possible to get better detailed answers. We would need to know the make/model of your trailer and where you would like to add receptacles? Also, will they need to be 12V or 120V? The problems you will likely come across is that many of the places you want to add receptacles may be in slides that move and in exterior walls for which there is no reasonable access. Unfortunately, that really limits "easy" installations - in most cases it can be done, but it may take a lot of ingenuity and quite a bit of hard work (or investment). "Decorative surface conduit" might be useful along with other less conventional solutions.

Sorry to provide a negative answer - give us some more detail and they may be those who can help you out.

Depending on location you maybe able to do floor outlets. I added one to my house and it was simple. If you could hide the bottom in a compartment out of the way that might work.
