USB outlet

[rwehba]

On a 2015 378xl, anyone see any reason not to install a USB/110 outlet. In the end of bar next to the couch and wire into junction box under the range in front of heater?

This might save you some work, if you already have an outlet at that location. I have been using this for over three years and works very well. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OJGC7XE/

If not, then wiring it the way you describe should work just fine. If you have room, I'd install a residential box and outlet. Be sure to disconnect any AC, prior to doing the electrical work.

Also, use an outlet checker, after you finish to ensure everything is wired correctly.

If I already had an outlet there and knew black wires from white wires I’d use one of these.

If I didn’t know the difference between black wires & white, I’d follow the earlier suggestion.

I removed on by the bed and had to cut the hole larger and installed a plastic cut in box with the ears that go behind the paneling and wire the wires together and the had pig tails of the wires and installed the recep, I bought mine from homedepot, works

I just installed this and replaced the small RV box with one that the USB will fit.
Outlet $12
Box $1
Both at Home Depot.

I just posted last week my To-Do-List Thread.

Here is some more ideas if you have time.

I installed a round double port usb charging socket on my 378 in the same place. It’s 12-volt so I just wired it into the furnace blower motor power supply wire right behind the wood grate under the range. Piece of cake. I put another one beside the main tv just above the 110-volt receptacle, wired it into the outside entertainment center power wire.

Yes I did, easy to do. Same location as you are talking about. I also installed one on the entertainment center next to the fireplace 110 plug. Love them both.

Like this one?
I installed two in my dash.

Exactly the same. I also put one in my dash about two years ago.

I did the same. Works great. Simple, fast fix.
