REMOTE CONTROL 120VAC POWER HUB

Our local hardware store has this item marked down to $8.99 which is a great thing to have around your trailer for remote control of anything that runs off 120VAC rated at 15AMPS.



We use this device for many things in our OFF-RoAD POPUP camper setup.

Neat to have full control of your awning lights for instance when walking to the bath room etc... I can turn mine ON/OFF a good 60 feet away from the trailer.

Also a good remote feature to light up your side of the park when things go BUMP in the middle of the night... Just a CLICK away from the bedside table haha...

My usual camp site setup includes a couple of clamp-on desk type lamps locate on the back side of the camping site with one pointing up into the trees and the other one pointed down. The one pointed up into the trees bounces back a nice soft light all around the patio/picnic table area. I also run a drop cord to the LAMP POST light near he entrance of the site. Then my awning lights is also lit up from the same 120VAC source. All of these items are remote controlled by one of those remote control power hub shown above.

    We have a TRUEVALUE Hardware store in our little town of King George that has it identified on a sales mailing. I have seen these same power hubs in ACE HARDWARE also...

    They are handy little things to have. I was thinking about getting another one but bet they use the same FREQUENCY for the pocket remote control so that would make me be turning ON/OFF things I didnt want to be doing using two at the same time hehe...

  • I found them a few online places, but that one was about $13.
    Kmart and Amazon have them.
