Just a thought, I had considered doing this myself but I discovered one (IMHO) flaw. These USB ports are not Surge protected. This may not be a big issue if you have a Progressives Industries Surge Guard on the trailer. But if you do not (as is my case) you have no protection on all those $500 iPhones, iPad, TV etc from bad park power, etc. So in my case I just went out to Home Depot and got a few good quality power bars with surge protection, high joules rating and 1A or better USB ports built in. I also used some 2 sided Velcro tape to mount them up. Yes it is not as elegant a solution but I was more concerned about my devices getting fried than some extra wire dangling.
