Why are 12v. Sockets different sizes/
The 12 v. accessory socket on the Antenna amp. switch will only take some plugs. A lot of things will not fit. While the ones on the dash and in the coach take all. I suspect there is a good reason. ...

36 volts seemed odd to me, 48 made more sense.
Given the fact that a 36 volt system would require three 12 volt batteries in series and a 48 volt system would require FOUR, what makes you say the 48 makes more sense?
Because 48 volts is a standard voltage for off grid battery systems. There are lots of inverters, lights, voltage converters, etc. already designed for 48 volts.
OP, sorry the tread veered off course. I too have noticed that the socket on the antenna plate is slightly smaller than the normal ones on the dash. I tried to "google" it and find out why but could never get a definitive answer.
