Thanks. That's probably why I kept blowing fuses for it. So the 3 in 1 power jack is the best solution.

Been using the lighter socket in my Class C, Jeep and GMC pickup for my Garmin GPS or charging my flashlight, iPhone or battery pack and haven't blown a fuse yet. I did wear out the socket in my Jeep and needs replacement. I haven't seen a difference. The sockets wear out, my guess that's the problem, it's grounding itself out. Sometimes the cheap charging plugs get wiggled a few too many times to make contact and break the socket.
