    Need 12 Volt plug and additional 110 plugs

    Has anyone tried adding a 12-volt receptacle and/or additional 110 receptacles to their Reflection? We do a lot of dry camping so we miss having a 12-volt receptacle for a 12-volt fan or charging our phones. We've added 12-volt receptacles in other units but so far there doesn't seem to be any real convenient places to add any in this unit. We may have to settle for what we can get. Plus when we did our shakedown trip last week we found our 27RL is very short on 110 receptacles and those we have (except for the kitchen area) are badly designed in wrong places requiring the use of extension cords. It would help to have some type of wiring diagram or something if it's available.

    I added 12v outlets by the bed by pulling the beside lights and tapping in to the power.

    I also added one in the passenger side cabinet next to the couch by tapping into the power supply to the CO detector. The USB adaptor also has a voltage indicator.

    Grand Design has history of not providing electrical schematics to owners. I believe it's due to proprietary issues and the fact that each assembler has some leeway in making connections, so the wiring may not always match any schematics. You can always contact customer service though and see if they will help you out.

    You're to diplomatic, Jim. Is it true that GD has the only Amish electrician in Indiana and he has a reserved parking spot for his buggy?

    I converted the Furrion Solar outlet on our 380TH to a 12v power port. I use the port for the Davy Crockett Green Mountain Smoker.

    We added two with their own fuses so I could use extension cords or splitters - one at the stairs near the step light and one in the passenger side storage area behind the inside stairs. I have an extension cord (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for each one when we are without hookups.

    While it does not help for the 12v fan, these style of plugs are great for USB, https://www.amazon.com/TOPGREENER-TU...R3Z5KR6MATP2RZ I have a couple of these in my house and RV.
