12v Charging

I have now had several trips away in my , new to me, 2017 Symbol and enjoying it with a lot of assistance from members on this forum.  I have only just realised that I am away on Saturday for a week and have up until now only had electric hook up.  Having come from a caravan with several 12V and USB sockets my Symbol has only one 12V socket, not through the ignition, and that is for the TV.  What to people do about about regular charging of mobile phones etc. ?    Bill

I fitted a dual USB socket and at the time tapped into the existing 12v socket for its power. It’s now got it’s own 12v feed.
I know many use those multi sockets plugged into the 12v socket but I hate a load of trailing wires.

Worth checking you dont have a USB point in the middle cab storage box.There is one on my van at the top inside.If not on my previous older vans I used a small phone power bank which
was good for 4 phone charges.About £15 to £20 from amazon

Thank you.  I found the USB socket in the middle cab storage box but again that only works with the ignition on.  Bill

I use a 12V splitter which also has 2xUSB and a USB-C port. It's this one (discontinued, though):

It's not ideal from the clutter point of view, but once the warranty is up, changes will be made.

I find that for my needs, USB-C is becoming more important than USB now. It's a lot faster for charging things. I have another 12V USB-C charger which is 100W.
