How To Charge 5 Apple Products

What do people do to charge 5 apple products will in your TT?
I would like info on both when working off battery power and when I am hooked up to shore power. Picking up new trailer next week and I believe there are 2 USB ports in the trailer.
I will have 2 Golf Cart Batteries while in the boonies.
I did Google and found some info but I value the opinions of those that have used whatever product, so I look forward to your comments. Thanks Ed
  • I installed a couple of Blue Sea Systems 1045 usb charge ports. They get their power from 12Vdc, so they'll work whether on shore power or running off the battery.
  • Hi,

    The ipads need 5.1 volts @ 2.1 amps. Make sure any adapter will handle that much current.

  • I've installed these:

    2.1A 5V output from each port. Mount 2 and charge 8 devices. The real load of 2.1A @5V is 11 watts which is only 1A @ 12V. Most 12V circuits are 10A or 15A, plenty of room for all your toys!

    Put them where there is already unswitched 12V and check the fuse for that circuit. Mine are next to the radio and the bedroom lights. Near your control panel is a likely spot also.

    On shore power just use whatever you use at home, or install things like this for your 120V receptacles.
