I figured it out. Slide the lense toward the round end. I plan to source the light for 12 volt DC and run non-metallic wire mold to allow am outlet for phone charging. Greg

| It might be a lot easier to replace any of the AC outlets with an AC outlet that includes USB plugins. |

I wouldn't source the 12 volts at the light fixtures for charging. Tap the wires coming from the converter and place 12 volt outlets where it is convenient to sit your phone. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

| My /14 179 has a DC outlet behind the TV set over the bed. To keep the television plugged into the DC outlet, you can buy a splitter cord that sends the 12 v in two directions. |

Techntrek, I posted the above post at 10:09 AM Pacific time. I noticed your post says it came in at 4:00 PM. In know the clock is correct on my computer, and I don't think you are 6 time zones ahead of me. Can the time on this board be corrected? Thanks Doug

The connection points behind my TV are antenna, 120 volts, and
video out, I have found 12 volts available behind the DVD player, but it may be
easier to run the wiremold from the light.

I have the HRE. That may be why 2 models of the same year are different. The light may be your best bet. Good luck. |

No problem with the server time, I'm making this post at 9:58 Eastern, and it is the time shown on the post. Make sure your time zone is set correctly in your user settings (Member Control Panel). Edit: and the post above that you referenced shows a post time of 1 pm, which is when I made it.

DHuse My 2014 r- pod 179 is a Hood River Edition. You may
have a 12 volt TV.
I have decided to tap in the power for the DVD player. I
will put the 12 volt receptacle beside the other outlets above the
TV.
