Thanks @Verna I was afraid to start prying until I knew. I am assuming that the USB side of the outlet is powered from the 12V side of the wiring, or is the outlet all 110 and the USB side converts the voltage? I will probably opt to replace the USB insert with another 110 plug for now and move the USB function to another…
The issue with putting USB slots in the 120V outlet, is that they won't work when you're not plugged into shore power. Perhaps leave the 120V outlet alone and modify the 12V outlet to have the USB slots there. I added a additional 12V outlet and replaced a 12 outlet, much easier than the 120V outlet I had to replace for my…
You could replace your overhead reading lights with this that has a usb port and then put your phone in the overhead accent light “shelf”: https://a.co/d/6IQu19v
For charging, I had to replace our rear USB outlets with sockets and then buy cig lighter adapters made with specs to match the dual current levels charging protocol used by our samsung phones. Having sockets will allow us to use adapters with the USB ports designed to support the device to be charged. We burned out the…
My 2018 has double outlets with one side USB and one side 12v. The replacements at eTrailer.com are the same brand and model as I have from the factory.
We are seldom on shore power. There was way too much that was always on from the factory. I put in a switch bank next to the Jensen stereo to cut all the parasitic draws. TV stereo, USB outlets, etc. Disconnected the step light, replaced the two overhead LEDs with dimmable that are off. Only thing left on is the carbon…
I actually just had to address this in my 2018 400. The USB by the bed and under the dinette both work on battery without shore power. The one in the bed cubby died so I replaced it with a 3 port USB and am in the process of moving the one under the dinette to the sidewall by the dometic for convenience.
@ColleenD2, the elimination of the USBs was strictly to prevent phantom drain, but, per the forum, some folks have had to replace their USB outlets as they wear out/go bad. We had extra 12 volt outlets installed and we use an adapter to charge devices via USB. Since we have no entertainment package, our phantom drain is…
The USB charging station in our tab quit working the first night we used it. Pleasant Valley said they have had some trouble with those and replaced it for us.
