12 Volt Receptacle on TT
Good evening, I'm brand-new to this forum and appreciate your patience until I learn the rules. I'd like to install a 12 volt/cigarette lighter-type receptacle on the rear of my TT. From time to time...

I would get a high quality 12VDC MARINE QUALITY receptacle with protective lid...
I am not much of a 12VDC receptacle fan and alot of the ones I have ended up using seem to get hot on me and melt wiring in the plug etc. I have two installed on my POPUP trailer and did get the good ones from BLUE SEA - Ordered thru AMAZON... If high current is going to be used I would also get a matched set of the receptacle and mating 12VDC plug. I would be very cautious of using the cheaper 12VDC type receptacles and plugs you find at the local auto parts places...
This area has been a very weak point for my limited use of these type of 12VDC plugs.
x2. Blue sea or marinco 12V plugs/recepticals are amongst the few "cig lighter" systems worth using. They are well designed and the plugs especially are very robust.
I've used them for years and have been trouble free. it's a "get what you pay for" thing.
