Rekcharge 12V Twin Cigarette Lighter Sockets (Waterproof)

Most accessory flush mount panels are supplied as a housing with individual components, meaning you will need to wire the sockets yourself. This modular design allows you to route cables according to your specific vehicle layout and current draw requirements. While some premium units come with basic bridge wires, standard panels provide the flexibility to choose your own wire gauge for a safer installation.

Connecting these individual circuits to a central hub is a smart way to manage your power and keep the setup tidy. Explore our 12V Distribution Boxes to simplify your circuit organization and provide better protection for your accessories.

You can swap out the components because most flush mount panels use the industry standard 29mm mounting hole diameter. This allows you to easily replace a cigarette lighter socket with a USB charging port or a voltmeter as your needs change. Swapping sockets is a practical way to modernize an older canopy build without replacing the entire housing.

It makes certain your control panel remains useful for the specific gear you carry on every trip. If you want to track your power levels more accurately, you can even install one of our Battery Monitors in a spare slot to get detailed system data.

Yes, you can replace a voltmeter with an extra USB socket provided they share the same mounting dimensions. Most 12V gauges and power outlets use a standard round housing that fits a 29mm hole, making them interchangeable across different panel styles. This customization helps you tailor your power distribution to match your device charging needs.

By removing a voltmeter you may lose a quick glance at battery health, but gaining extra fast charging ports is often more useful for modern travelers with multiple mobile devices. This simple upgrade keeps your setup functional and aligned with the gear you use most.

The best place to mount your switch panel is near the main entry point or adjacent to the kitchen area for easy access. In a campervan, positioning the controls where they can be reached from both the sleeping area and while standing outside is a practical move for managing lights and pumps.

You should also make sure the panel is mounted in a location that provides enough depth for the wiring and terminals behind the surface. This keeps your build organized and prevents damage to the connections when loading gear. Many builders install these panels alongside their Inverters to create a centralized power station for their off grid home.
