Some earlier post mentioned tapping into the 12V circuit at the heater under the bed.
I want to do the same thing in order to power a couple of USB chargers. I'm not sure of which of the heater wires to tap into.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

You will want to look for the heavier wires. One (if your wiring is like mine) is red and white. That is your positive connection. The other will be white. You can tie into these for your USB outlets.

I did this very thing to install a USB/cigarette lighter socket under the bed for my CPAP.

I ran a new circuit from the breaker/fuse panel. There are a couple of spare 12V circuits available.
