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. ...

IN all the world there is one country where sizes are expressed in INCHES (Feet, Yards, Rods, Furlongs, Miles and so on)
IN the rest of the world it is mM, cM, M, CM, KM and so on (I'm hitting highlights only)
THe conversion from US to Metric means you often get two sizes. Winegard is likely using the old US inch specification from way back when. Most industry today including he who made the dash socket use the World Wide Metric specification even if it is converted to Inch.
Believe it or not this is also a very tiny political issue.. It is tiny because most companies have modified to Metric standards but 50 years ago the company my Mother worked for made, among other things. Glass Basketball Backboards.. had 'em in my High School in fact.. They could not sell to the Olympics or to any gym outside the USA till they modified their size just a bit so it was cross compatible between US and European standards. That opened a whole new market for their very high quality products.
We also crashed a mars lander because someone did not understand the difference between Metric and US-Only standards.. I assume he programmed inches. when mM was specified but that is a guess. Most science uses Metric.

Two questions..or sets of questions.
1: You are going down the road when you see a flash of light (Blue) in your rear view. there he is . Officer Smiley pointing you to the curb. YOu glance at the speed limit sign (40) and at your speedometer (60). Oh boy a Tricket.
MPH or KPH? That is the question (Note 40 KPH is 25MPH if you do the math so I picked a speed limit common both in the US and Canada).
Pool of questions 2
How many pennies in a dime
How many dimes in a Dollar
How many Dollars in a 10 Spot (10 dollar bill)
How many 10's in a C-Note (Hundred dollar bill)
How many C-notes in a Grand (Thousand dollars)
You use the metric system every day. but you do not understand it
