If you go down this path, make sure it's either switchable or that you install a switch. 12V->5V convertors destroy a lot of power while sitting there idle.

Subject: USB power?

Does anyone have a suggestion for a two or three outlet USB power "strip" that can be mounted to a surface, such as behind the driver's seat, and which operates off 12 VDC?

I have a couple cigarette lighter sockets mounted there for your 12V appliances, but it's an annoyance to find the stupid 12VDC > 5 VDC USB converter to plug into the socket.

Just looking for power for operating and charging USB devices.
