Bunk fan outlet amp rating
I have a hybrid with those 1/4" mono-style bunk fan outlets (like this) and I want to know the amp rating of those. Anyone know?

The expected load could be as much as 4.3A.
I would not personally chance using a 1/4" phone jack for that kind of amperage.
The brand I linked to in a previous post was for Switchcraft which is one of the BETTER names in connectors and it was only rated for 1A..
I would bet the one in your bunk is a cheaper built version..
Your circuit most likely will not be a problem, many RVs will typically wire for 7A-15A on the lighting circuits..
The problem is the 1/4" jacks..
If you really WANT to use the lighting circuit I would suggest seeking a BETTER jack than a 1/4" phone jack..
Would hate to see you have a meltdown/fire as a result of using a poorly designed connector..
