I can't say that it's worth installing receptacles for charging USB. You still need either hookups or an inverter. Most devices also charge better with their own adapters. Some won't charge at the fastest rate unless they use their adapters or at least one with the same circuitry.
That is a problem that is easily remedied:
USB charging for iPhones
USB Charging for Samsung
My problem also. the USB jacks supplied in campers only support 5V at 1/2 amp. The only phone that uses standard USB for charging anymore is the archaic apple phones. All the Qualmcom chip sets use "QuickCharge 2" or QC3. this uses 5-9 or even 12V at Higher current levels. my Android will not even charge from an RV USB charger when RV is not plugged into AC.
Here was my solution.

one port is Quick Charge 2 for my android, the other is standard USB but up to 2A (for Iphone) it plugs into 12V plug, and even works when AC is unplugged (works on true boon docking battery voltage).
Just another reason why RV manufactures should stay out of High Tech. Even what technology they are starting to supply is already out dated.
RV manufactures need to spend more time on stuff like proper sealing and not High Tech.
