I'm a camping wife and there are definitely things for the trailer I wouldn't mind getting as a present especially if it enhances the camping experience ... New Maxx Air covers ... not so much ... lol ... Merry Christmas ... and good luck ... 🤶🎅

This is in the product description on the Amazon link I posted...

Certifications: UL Listed (E490945), CE, RoHS

Hope this helps!

Glad that this was helpful to you RVChick, I really didn't intend to post that here, I was responding to another thread and had this one open at the same time..

That's a great option, too. It would give you an extra 120V outlet in addition to the 2 USB connections.

Thanks for sharing!

Last year the wife and I bought ourselves our current TT as a mutual Christmas present. This year we bought ourselves a brand new boat.

Way to go. Taking the boat on the Atlantic today and she goes into the dry slip until we get back from Florida in March. Have fun with your toys.

Just remember... USB adapters such as this one are designed to be used on residential outlets like what is found in a home, where the wires attach with SCREWS. The instructions even show how to adjust the 'prongs' for proper contact.

R/V outlets DO NOT have screws where the wires attach, unless someone changed them out. The wires snap into the slots on the back of these inexpensive (cheap) outlets. This adapter won't work with 99% of R/V outlets.

Tough to see your boat on the hard waiting for your return.

If DH bought me something camper related that I had said I wanted, I would be thrilled. You could always get a gift "for the camper" and have her open it. This year I found something I wanted, ordered it, wrapped it and put it under the tree To Camper From Santa. It was a hit.

Oh I fill my stocking with best stuffers. it’s better that than sitting around feeling misunderstood. Life is too short. And I get all kinds of stuff I want.

I thought DH was going to gift me a Hughes autoformer but instead I got a Glock.

Two years ago I bought the wife a 20' bass boat for Christmas. She even rode in it this year.
