Many people have found plugs that will fit in those.. Some do, some do not, depends on if they are made to US or Eurpoean standards.
My complaint is the )(@#$@)# "Ciggy" type plugs fall out of the )(@)#$&#@() outlets so if I get one that is snug enough I need to sand the plug down a bit and use force.. I'm very very very happy.
The other thing is often those outlets are not all that HD, a cell phone charger, not a problem, a small TV, likewise, A large TV, iffy, an inverter, Forget it.
What I use most in my RV.. Well I have 12 volt aux outlets scattered about, some are the wall plate type some are automotive under the dash types (Mounted on an "L" bracket) but my favorite connector which I have at 5 locations about the coach starting with "Front grill" and ending with "Trailer hitch" is the Anderson Power pole
A strip of a dozen beside the driver's seat
One (fused) in the half-bath, radio/electronics work room
One (for the macerator) on the wall outside said room over the black/gray tank
And one on the front of my car (This with the aid of a matching extension cord keeps the batteries on the car full when long-distance towing) (or when parked for a week in a campground (Front connector).
And a strip inside the car that runs radios, inverter (small) and cell chargers.
Very handy devices those power poles.
