12 Volt Outlet
Just ordered our 36ckts and looked high and low for a 12 volt outlet. I couldn't locate any and the salesman didn't know if the factory installs any 12 volt outlets. Does anyone with a 2016 model have a factory installed 12 volt outlet? If so, what model CC and where is it located?? Thanks in advance

Cannot comment on your model but ran into the same thing with my Crusader. Ended up finding it behind the tv, had to pull the TV all the way out to be able to see it.

The model I ordered has the tv on a lift. Guess there may be an outlet in the mess of wires in the hole.

I asked about adding two 12V outlets in the bedroom to a factory ordered Cedar Creek 36CKTS. The salesman checked with his factory contact and was told yes, they will build those in for $50 each. Maybe it is not too late to add those to the order.

I installed a marine weatherproof 12vdc socket next to the wheel wells on both sides so I could plug my air compressor in for pumping the tires. West Marine has them, but they ain't cheap. You can wire them in directly to your power panel as most panels have unused fused circuits.

I use Direct and a portable dish. No DC for that.
But that made me think...........does the CKTS have outside 120v regular receptacles?

Yes, one on the door side, one in the basement, and one in the wet bay.

I glanced at one of these online. Are you sure it uses 12 volt power supply. The pic I saw had it plugged into a 120 volt AC.....but it also had a power inserter, which may be the difference.

EDIT: Ok I see where the GM-2000 does indeed need a 12 volt power source.

I think BandJCarm was suggesting that you could just get a 120 volt to 12 volt converter and plug it into a 120 volt outlet, if you have 120 volt AC power where you are at. This would be the simplest solution, unless you don't have 120 volt AC power.

Yes I have the G2 which requires a 12 volt power cord. The G2+ has a power inserter and does not require a separate 12volt cord. I can use a 120volt to 12volt, was just trying to eliminate as many things that might fail. Still seems strange that CC doesn't put in a couple of 12 volt outlets

I purchased a marine grade 12 volt receptacle with digital read out in the water closet. Use this to drive my 12 volts for the wingard satellite dish that is automatic. I connected power to the 12 volt light in the water closet. This way I bring the cable line and the 12 volt line into the water closet for connectivity. Works great and you can monitor your voltage.

No our 36ckts did not come with any 12v outlets. I installed three.
