I have installed a couple of these BLUE SEA USB ports in my trailer. One in the bed area and another one in Home Entertainment area. These are wired into the 12VDC lines. I am a big fan of the quality of BLUE SEA Marine 12VDC products... Available from AMAZON. WALMART has USB ports that you can plug into a cig lighter socket.
I noticed one on EBAY the other day that a small digital 12VDC LED readout on it which would be handy for you to get a glimpse of the DC VOLTAGE READING when camping off the power grid.. Don't remember who made it...
I don't think I have ever seen one mounted in the ceiling light fixture or bedroom wall light fixtures. My POPUP trailer has a PHONO PLUG in the ceiling fixtures for plugging in a 12VDC fan. I don't think I would like a cable hanging down from one of those anyway.. A permanent mount in the back of a shelf or table top would be more convenient for me to use.

I wouldn't want to mount it on the ceiling. Walls are easier to work on and less likely to have short people just grab the cord and not the plug. Boats and motorcycles have different things available thta might work. I've seen reference to this a combination voltmeter/usb charger as well as handlebar mount usb chargers that you can remove from the mounting bracket and mount in a hole. They wire to the 12 volt battery system. I was going to post links but couldn't get them to copy.
