New RV USB plugs, what amperage are they?
Many new(ish) devices require the higher powered, 2.1-amp USB plugs. On the flip side, most of the plugs I've seen in RVs I believe are under an amp. Anybody knowledgeable on this subject? Is the R...

OP here.
I wasn't looking for a standard, just tell me what's currently installed.

Or when you get the new RV plug your high current demand device in to charge. You will figure it out quickly if the device takes a long, long time to charge..
If charge time is comparable to your charger the device came with then the ports have sufficient power for you device to charge at normal speed.
Pretty much all devices that use USB 5V to charge from have the capability to detect and auto negotiate the charging source capability. If it is not able to draw enough power it drops into a lower rate charge mode.
Does not hurt the device, just means you might be waiting several hrs instead of 15 minutes to recharge.
If you find it is taking a lot longer time to charge, then consider adding your own aftermarket higher current charging ports.
In other words, don't let this concern make the choice of RVs for you.
