Combination USB Charger with Receptacle

Just put one of these in my house to charge phones. Would be cool for a trailer also.

A built in wall wart, and one you can't turn off. I am mindful of vampire loads and since we have an inverter would be a bit leery it would keep the Suresine inverter active rather than letting it sleep.

That seems to be addressed in the product brochure but there may be some sort of very small trickle since they expect it to be installed in a house connected to the grid.

One other thought. Would you even want to run this off of an inverter? I'm sure its been addressed, but what is the loss when you go from 12 volts to 110 to 5 volts?

If you are on an interter wouldn't you run 12 v and put some sort of a cigarette lighter plug in.

I don't know if these are legal for use here, but if they are and I could get a couple locally for the house, it would be nifty. one in the bedroom and one in the office.
