Default Updating new USB outlets in TM

I would like to update two USB 21watt outlets off of the two outlets in my 2005 2720. One is on the side of the refrigerator and the other is to the right of stove top in that step down counter.


I looked at the outlets that are there and they are self contained RV outlets see pics. The question are there fast charge USB self co tained with outlet combo. I can't seem to find any.

Please advise. Thanks

Anyone have any reccomended fast charge RV specific usb outlet that I should be using? I am finding 12v ones on Amazon but I don't have a 12V source on the stove side of the TM.

Found these on Amazon

These are 12v but don't think these are fast charge... prefer something that is specifically used in RVs but has fast charge built in and has 4 usb ports. Would need one that hooks up to 120v and one that hooks up to 12v. Any suggestions?

Someone out there must have done this to thier trailmanor.

Right. You can't include links in your post until you have posted a certain number of times (10, maybe?) It is an anti-spam measure built into the forum software. Keep posting and be patient.

As for choosing a charger. There should be 120 VAC running to a dual outlet on the panel at the end of the refrig. If you are reasonably handy with electrical stuff, you could tap into that. There should also be 12 VDC running into the TV panel at the end of the refrig. This is the one where you push the little button to switch between "Cable" and "Air". Will either of these serve the purpose? With some investigation, you could also pick up a 12 VDC point from the mass of wires behind the refrig. Access is easy from that panel.

Personally, I wouldn't get hung up on "RV Compatible". As an electrical guy, I hate those one-piece electrical assemblies. They are easy to install at a factory. But common household electrical parts and practices work for me, and are a lot more flexible.

Thanks Bill, I appreciate you input and this is helpful fornthe ref. Sode ofnthe TM. Might you know of a 12v source I can tap into over on the stove side? Just makes sense to have 12v USB sources for those boondocking trips. Any USP fast charge that you reccomend?

Our 2005 2720 does not have 12V on the stove side of the trailer, or it didn't, till I ran it over there. It was an easy thing to pull from the rear TV hookup by the power center, run through the rear cabinet, and then up into cabinets on the stove side.

Coralcruze would this suit your purpose? I use a flat plug 90 degree extension cord in that outlet by the stove so it doesn't interfere with my additional drawer unit. https://www.amazon.com/Power-Strip-L...NrPXRydWU&th=1
