USB Charging Ports

Several weeks ago we ordered a Cedar Creek Hathaway 34RE.

I failed to notic if there were and usb ports to charge devices.

Are there any?

I have been waiting for an answer from Cedar Creek since October. I want to add one to my 2017 36ckts. Nobody can seem to find the outlet for me or get back to me

Added several of these to our 2015. Work great. Just like the ones we have in our home.

I know that 110/usb outlets are available for homes. Simply replace the outlet. Any hardware store has them.

I was concerned that rv's had smaller boxes that standard household outlets might not fit. And, they would only work when plugged in to shore power.

I had a 12 volt cigarette lighter type outlet installed in the bedroom for my cpap machine. Auto stores sell a plug in unit for those. 2 usb outlets.

I thought most manufacturers had an area in the kitchen with a couple of usb ports for charging. I assume the radio has one.

You can also buy strip outlets that have USB port on it. I bought one and it does the trick for me.

My ‘18 21FBRS came with a 12v outlet and charging center on the driver’s side of the bed. Works well, and that’s where I got power for the TST signal booster. I haven’t searched, but I’d bet that those fixtures are readily available from the usual vendors.

My 2016 34RL Cedar Creek does not have any USB ports in the unit. So I purchased two of these from Lee Valley Tools. One for the house and one for the trailer. This has served us will They are called Power Cubes Multi-Outlets, the USB ones sell for $22.50 US each. This way you can charge your phone/I Pad and still have power outlets for 120V.

The Jensen radio has one USB, my cell phone is using it to charge right now. If there is another one, I can't find it.

thanks all!

I got this

Used the 3M command strips to mount it under the TV and plugged in behind the TV. Phones and WIFI devices and stuff get plugged in and lay under the TV. It works GREAT!!!

We always had a maze of chargers and cables on the dinette. Went with one of these to use the USB ports for the phones and I-Pads and the 110V for the old thinkpad and mac. Now we don't have to carry all those separate chargers and can eat breakfast without rearranging half the camper. It is also a surge protector.

So amazed at my 201BH.. both bunks have USB ports, another port next to the master bed and even another port by the dinette table!!

My 34RL2 has powered theater seats. I replaced the buttons, with buttons which contained two USB ports each.

tomherb · 02-08-2018, 10:02 PM

Couple of things. On my 2016 34RL, the connector in the left hand cabinet is a HDMI plug rather than a USB plug. It was a good place for the Amazon Fire Stick since that cabinet also has a 110V plug at the very back for power. dngnmn, where did you get the buttons for the power theatre seat that had the USB ports? Sounds like a good place for them.

Thanks!

I got them from Pro furniture parts. They are the Palister oval 2 button with USB. Amazon has them listed as "Oval button with USB"

For people with kids that may not even be enough.

My grandson toured one summer with a Drum/Bugle Corps. When they stopped for the night, out came the extension cords, cord strips, and chargers. He sent us a picture that showed close to 200 sq feet of charging cell phones, tablets, computers, etc. Had to use different wall sockets on different circuits because if they put too many on one they'd trip the circuit breaker. Three bus loads of people, all with devices that needed charging. To save money they "Camped" in school gym's, etc, and ate from their "Chuck Wagon" so they couldn't spread out among hotel rooms.
