Adding USB and 12v outets to my 2 RVs
I have a lot of photo equipment and other things that need charged when I'm out adventuring. In my truck camper I switched things around part way through the project and ended up with a 12v battery...

Very easy solution:
I installed these:

If you put them within ~6-10 inches from your under-cabinet dome lights (if you have those), you can tap off the dome light wiring.
With the correct sized drill bit, it is a 10 minute job! I have a Majestic 28a and I added them to above the couch, above the dinette, and above the bed in the rear.
Good luck!

When it says "2.4 amps (one port)" does that mean that if you are using both ports at the same time you only get 1.2 amps per port? There are other brands that will do 2.4 amps on both ports at the same time. For example: https://www.amazon.com/Voltmeter-SunnyTrip-Waterproof-Replacement-Motorcycle/dp/B08FBY351F/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=12v+usb+outlet&qid=1607051503&sr=8-9
I did install that type once before. That's when I learned there was a problem with them... They are TOO TALL/DEEP. They won't fit in the spacing in most cabinet undersides.
To answer your question, yes I think the one I use is 2.4amp total. But my experience is that it actually produces a strong charge and hasn't been an issue. As a reference, I have a cigarette lighter charger on my dashboard that actually shows the amps as it is charging and most of the time it bounces around between 1-1.5amps when charging and it always seems to do a decent job.
Good luck!
