Best Places For Power Outlets On Conversion?

[goldeneye243]

I'm getting my van converted soon and want to make sure that I get enough power outlets and in the right places!

Going for a simple full width bed and carpet lining so can put them almost anywhere. Going to have a solar panel, so not bothering with electric hook up (for now at least).

Will have a Dometic CFX35 behind the seat (as long as it fits!) so will need a 12v socket low down at the back probably go for one on each side.

Will then probably need USB sockets dotted around - Best locations?

Thanks in advance!

The best locations will depend on your layout. Try and imagine where you will be when you want to use any of the sockets so that they are conveniently located and will not result in too many trailing cables. Particularly in seating or sleeping areas. e.g., you wouldn't want USB sockets on just one side of a double bed otherwise you have run your cable across the other person. Also be mindful of what phones or tablets you will need to charge when choosing USB sockets. Most of the modern ones require 3 amps to charge efficiently and many of the sockets are 2.1 amps or less!!!
Also consider any moving furniture. Don't fit a socket somewhere that will be obscured when you pull the bed out etc.
