New Rpoders

Stephen, what you said is how I understood it. Thanks for the confirmation. I have 2 little girls which is why omi bought the generator and I needed a new power station/Jump starter/charger anyway.
I'm certain I'll be installing some 12 volt outlets along with USB.
I considered solar, but most of the sites on the west coast have lots of nice shade, and I don't want to give up the shade just to use the panels. It's pretty amazing though if you can make it work.
Got 36 panels on my hous doing over 1150kwh per month, even in rainy April: love it! Love solar.

To have 120V power, you would need to install an inverter or use a portable one. Without installing 12V outlets, you would not have 12V power access for plug-in accessories, including an inverter. The furnace and lights run on 12V. The refrigerator can run on 12V, but I would not recommend it with the possible exception being that you have solar power that can likely support it. Propane or shore power is best for the refrigerator. If you don't want to install any 12V or USB outlets, you could use the Stanley Power Station. Installing the outlets would be less expensive, but if you already have the Power Station, you could put that off.

The initial reason I installed 12V outlets was so that I could run my CPAP machine without using an inverter. It is actually powered by 12V, so I just got the 12V cord and installed 12V power outlets. The first was by the outlet at the base of the bed. The second was near the TV as we decided to change the direction in which we made up the bed and slept in it to make it easier for me to get in and out over the top of my wife's legs with less disturbance.

Yep, there's always been a( regulated?) charger in the entertainment unit so I'd be surprised if that fried the iPad. Maybe I'll try an old iPhone first 😊.
RPOD removing the USBs on the right side of the kitchen is a backward step, but trailers in general having no 12 volt is beyond weird.

I was just wondering about the inverter - my 2017 rp 179 does not have any 12-volt plugs - is there a way to jury-rig something? I have 2 batteries and 600 watt solar panel, so batteries aren't the problem. I do have a USB plug by the radio, which is 12-volt. I'm afraid to use it because last year I plugged my ipad in to charge before leaving for a hike. when I came back, the battery was fried either coincidentally or the voltage is not regulated well.

Interesting, I saw a Youtube video of a 2016 RPOD 179 that had 2 USB outlets right next to the AC in the kitchen and the guy was talking about how useful that is. I think I'll also eBay the current TV and grab a 12v, not that it'll get used that much but with. 3 year old, a good movie can avoid chaos at night. I do have an inverter I can use but may have to pick another as this may not be pure sine. I've charged computers before so may be fine.

I'm on a 6 volt system although they had to cut one of the plastic nubs off one of the boxes where they meet (didn't tell me), so I need a piece of plastic and some caulk to patch that gap. Adding an alarm today or tomorrow and looking for ways to make battery removal more difficult. Left a light on in the rig last night to deter, and our cover hides the batteries so out of sight out of mind.

The mattress in ours is MUCH nicer than the springy thing I payed on at the dealer. If it's decent it too may go on craigslist as I have purchased a nice 8" foam mattress. We'll try this once and if it's good we may return the foam mattress.

All set with the torque wrench and thanks for the reminder about the lugs. I think checking after 50-100 miles is true for cars as well, better check my truck as it has new tires.

Thanks for the great input Stephen.
