A quick Walmart search displayed a few dozen. Here's one similar to what we have now:

The multi-cigarette device looks like a good way to go as long as it does not exceed the capacity of the port on the MH. I am not sure if you all use CB anymore so maybe I will wait on that but if I need one, I will probably just wire it to the cab battery. Thanks guys you been a big help.
Someone else said that none of the devices you listed are big amp pullers. And I agree. You'll pop a fuse first.
If concerned, I'd probably cobble up a simple 5A inline fuse and load up the devices and find out. That seems a lot easier that fishing wires thru the firewall to the battery.
Microelectronics just don't suck the watts anymore. They can't - those that are designed to run on batteries are pretty parsimonious power pullers. :)
