12 Volt Charging Stations

Hey guys;

I have a 2013 Sabre 32RCTS. My rig is in storage. Am I correct that the cell phone charging station inside the rig has receptacles for charging two 12 volt accessories at the same time? Or is it just one?

Thanks

If I am not mistaken, it provides 5v, not 12v. Probably 1A max, so it's not enough for an iPad or other tablet. Enough for 1 Smart phone or 2 not so smart phones...

It is two 12vdc outlets and one 110 ac outlet. They are as if you plugged into service plug in the auto/truck outlet.

Like Pbalmer65 said there are 2, 12-volt outlets and 1, 110 volt outlet (with 2 receptacles) that is GFCI protected. It will charge any of our electronics. I think I even ran a 12 volt portable vacuum cleaner there.

I stand corrected. I've seen many newer RVs with USB charging stations.

If it's the charging station like mine, you have a 12v outlet and a usb. We have used both at same time and the usb will charge our iPad. That pesky blue light though gets annoying as the only light in a perfectly dark camper! Seems to pierce my eye lids when closed!

I'm planning on swapping out the receptacle to one of those too. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is a good way to tame the rats nest of cables when everything is plugged in there!

I have changed out the factory plug with one that has two USB ports and one 110 outlet. The package the outlet was in listed outputs.
