12v/USB charging station reccomendation
Hello, Our new trailer came with no 12V plugins, all it has is two USB chargers, one in bedroom and one in living room area. We have a 12V TV we use when off grid so i would like to replace the one...

in installed this one last year, was pretty straightforward. The separate pieces can be arranged anyway you want, and it's pretty simple to change them out if needed (replacing the 12v with a USB for example, or adding another outlet instead of a switch or voltage readout).
i installed mine near the radio so I used the same power source. I also wired the radio into the new toggle switch, so i can switch the radio off (similar to when you turn off your car, radio goes dark but maintains its memory). Our radio was way bright and was wired in a way that I couldn't turn it off completely. The switch also controls the 12V outlet and readout, so I can basically "go dark" for bedtime. The USBs I left always hot (not switched) so we can charge overnight.
It's actually more straightforward than it might seem, just completing or opening circuits to fit your needs.
i agree with others, the one you posted price is way high, can definitely be found cheaper.
