I was wondering about where to mount it because the depth was too great for the wall, so an under cabinet make sense.
For the USB/socket combo any suggestions about wire gauge? I am not firm on where to put my battery. if i put it in the tongue box the length of wire will be about 15 feet. If i can figure out how to mount the battery under the floor the length of wire would be about just a few feet, max 5'.
If you have any tips on how to get the battery housed under the floor (ideally with out needing a cut out) that would be much appreciated too!

I am working on a first build. For my doc electrical I want to keep it simple: cabin light, fantastic vent fan, and a 12 volt socket (cigarette lighter). there are a few different types of cigarette lighter available. What type do you recommend? Ideally it can be mounted into the wall (walls are sandwich). Do these sockets get wired the same as other accessories?
Thanks!

I remove all the 12 volt sockets (cigarette lighter) and replace them with 30 amp Anderson powerpoles. They are gender-less so at any plug you can get power or supply power(battery, charger or solar). The powerpoles plug in with a positive snap so you know that they are pluged in and stay plugged in.
Just my opinion.

My teardrop has all three. I have built-in USB charging ports, I have cigarette lighter receptacles, and I have high-current powerpole-like connectors.
