Slow reply, sorry. I found a 6-pack of these type at lowes. Basically the self-adhevise with the plastic bottom. They don't really add any height to your drawer so you get more use of the space and it slides around on the lineleum just great. http://www.lowes.com/pd_29577-255-4701195N_0__?productId=1179463&Ntt=slider&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Dslider&facetInfo= |

My first mod on my 182G...
I installed this 12v socket / USB combo so I can use a 12v TV and charge my USB devices when dry camping. I want to install another one in the garage but pulling the cable from the garage to the panel seems to be a daunting task. |

marspball, you may be able to find a 12 volt line run for lighting that you can tap, instead of running a new one.

Oops, I guess that would be helpful. Lol The socket/USB plug can be purchased on ebay for $10. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-USB-Car-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Splitter-12V-Charger-Power-Adapter-Outlet-/381005422890 I placed it right by the door which is above the electric panel so running the cable to the panel was pretty easy. The outlet itself has 2 screw on rings which you're supposed to use to mount it securely to the wall. However, there was no access from the back so I had to figure out another way. So I made two holes with a drill and hole saw that is big enough so that the retaining ring will fit and the plastic cover will sit flush with the wall. for wiring, I used 12 gauge wire which i know it is an overkill but the price diff of 12ga compared to 14ga wasn't that much. it doesn't show in the picture but inside the wall, the cable from the panel is split into two and then hooked up to the outlets. The kit already comes with the cable connectors. To hook it up to the electric panel, you do have to remove it which is pretty easy. Just two screws for the cover and another 4 screws for the panel and it slides forward. All the negative cables are connected to a bar on the bottom left of the panel (on the floor) and the positive cable gets hooked up to the 12v panel. I then used a 15amp fuse and everything works like a charm. I then positioned the cover of the outlet, drilled pilot holes for the screws and voila. From start to finish, the whole installation only took about 30 min. I hope this helps. |
