Did some wiring this morning. I use a CPAP machine to sleep with. It makes sure I wake up, alive. Our only 12 volt power source is on the opposite side of the trailer from the bed. I have to use an inverter because I'm too cheap to pay $100 for a 12 volt power cord for my machine. But, my power unit is real close to the foot of my bed. So I put a 400/800 watt inverter into the cabinet where the power unit is. Wired it up to 12 volts, and plugged in a very short extension cord. I plugged that into a unit designed to plug into a wall receptacle that provides one 120 volt plug, and two USB plugs. Mounted that on the outside of the cabinet. And it works! It uses almost no power when there is no load. One less problem. The link above is to the outlet I used.
