I bought one from Pep Boys, plugs to the lighter and has a long cord and a
magnetic base. I did buy three 12v sockets: one under the dashboard for my
cellphone, another next to the table (Carat) and one on the left side of the
cargo area, to plug the light or air compressor. And for the cargo area, I
tapped on the 12v direct for the a/c and wired a light that even illuminares
the engine at night, also from Pep Boys. So I don't think you're
hallucinating (don't know you that well)
