120 volt cigarette lighter size outlet

My 600WATT AIMS Pure Sine Wave Power inverter is my always ON Duty Power Inverter and it has two 120VAC connector ports on it. I run a 15-foot extension cord with a multi-head on it to the back of cabinet tops on both ends of my POPUP trailer. Being always On makes it real handy to plug-in small wattage items 24/7...

Thanks for all the suggestions, I think I'm changing my ideas on this plan. Below is what I was hoping to find. Something like the 12v outlets that I have mounted in my trailer, but as a 120v outlet.

Since I don't think such a beast exists I'm changing directions and going to try the square snap in. I recently added a new aftermarket radio and no longer need the rear audio controls that are in the center console. Originally I was going to leave the rear controls alone. But now I think I'm going to fabricate a cover plate for the hole on my 3d printer and add a space for a snap in plug. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks

I wasn't able to find a round plug, I don't think they exist. So I went with a square plug instead.

Just one outlet? Fused?

Yes just one outlet for now since the inverter has only one output. I really didn't want to splice any 120v wires, so from the inverter I'm using a repurposed computer power cord to the outlet.

For normal day to day use the one outlet will almost never get used. For road trips the outlet will power a 6 outlet power strip. This setup of inverter to power strip is how we've run for many years; Only now I won't have the clutter of cords going over and around the center console.

The input power for the inverter is through a 15 amp fuse. The inverter itself has a built in 40 amp fuse. There is no fuse after the inverter except there might be a circuit breaker in the power strip.

Actually, round single 120Vac outlets do exist and I have used them in our house:

Round self-contained outlet

They don't need an outlet box and are approved for direct connection with Romex (In and Out for daisy-chaining)
