    Yea. Just to make sturdy as possible. I just tried different sizes and found the right match at Home Depot.

    I saw that when I was at home depot. I should have done that, but didn't know much. Was my first time and other posts didn't have much info. Might have to switch mine out one day, but I doubt it. Have an access cab (don't have much passengers)

    I have this Blue Sea dual USB outlet back there right now and was thinking about wiring it to a switch so my boy doesn't leave something plugged in and killing my battery. I won't have to worry about that with the household outlet run through the inverter.

    The smaller square outlets give a much cleaner look in my opinion and I've been using them for a couple of years now. I did the 400w mod when it first showed up then added the extra outlets after someone posted which wires to tap. On mine I used an in-line plug so I can easily remove the center console and I mounted the outlets (two of them) forward on the right side of the center console near the gear shifter. I spaced them so that I can plug in two Nikon or GoPro battery chargers side by side for charging camera batteries. The 400w will run my netbook or the netbook and a battery charger with no problems and it'll charge my gaming laptop but it trips the breaker if you try to run games on it (it's a power hog).

    For the guy who mentioned charging his phone, you are better off running/charging small DC gizmos off the 12v outlet than you are powering up the inverter only to convert it back to <3v DC which is what USB stuff uses. On a related note, most of the Wasabi chargers will plug into the 12v outlet so you don't have to use the inverter.

    Not on the receptacle, I know what wire goes where on those. I'm talking about the connector at the inverter.

    In other words, I want the hot wire to actually be on the hot side of the receptacle.


    ** EDIT** I think you've labled hot wire as green at the inverter in your photo? Clever... I friggin' full-blown missed that.

    Ranch Topper, Bull Bar.....Yes, I know everyone thinks they are crap, I like the look

    I like this look.
    I'm not sure I understand this USB plug.
    This is simply wired into the 12V Dc truck power?
    Or is it wired to the inverter?
    Is a USB DC voltage?
    Everything I want to plug into my inverter is phone/computer based.
    I never have understood this computer USB cable thing.
    I just plug them in and go.
