You would not want to plug your Thomas Payne recliner directly into your control panel. The recliner is not fused so if there was a power surge you could fry the wiring running to the couch and all of the electrical components like the powered recline or heat/massage functions. You would need to use the Replacement Power Cord with Power Supply Box for Thomas Payne Seismic RV Power Reclining Sofas # 195-000111 as this power supply box will act as a fuse to handle any surges and take the damage so that you don't have to completely replace the furniture.

The manufacturer does not recommend wiring the recliner directly to the RV control panel either so you would be liable for any damage in the event of a fire.
