Tap into DC power under kitchen sink?

I want to install an Acuva UV water treatment system under the kitchen sink in my 2023 T@b 400 BD. Can I tap into any of the wires there for DC power? The system draws ~9W when active (while water is running) and ~0.1W when not active.

    @Stokes400Boondock that is a very interesting question and the first time that I know of something like that even being considered.

    T@b forum wizards, have at it. I'm going to enjoy this upcoming discussion!

    Good luck @Stokes400Boondock.

    Our 2021 320 has 12v usb power outlet under the sink, wires come in from behind bath sink and are part of a two outlet dedicated circuit.  If you need 12v fractional amperage this might be a good source to tap. 
    In contrast, Piggybacking on fridge fuse might overload that circuit.

    I’m not sure if the 2023 is different but the 2021 has the fuse box right next to the under sink cabinet. It would be fairly easy to run a dedicated fuse and outlet for it.
