Subject:      Curious locations for hardwired 3 way cig power outlet ?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

So about to go on the x-country trip & added up my electronic gizmo list
1-mp3[player
2-garmin 530s with gps
1-aa battery recharger
1-recharge able flashlight
1-laptop

I have decided to go the 12v dc route rather than the inverter and install the 2x 3-way cig recharger
http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=DC+AdaptorsandPlugs&product=2701550

so I sat in the van trying to decide the optimal location for these
where did any one else mount their 3 way dc outlets ?

bearing in mind  
-ease of access
-most rechagring will occur over night
-there will be a mess of wire for 4-6 devices rechagring
-ease of halling a heavy guage wire to the 3 way units

candidate locations
-under sink (devcies on the floor)
-beside rear light over 2 table (devices on the table)
-piggy back of eisting outlet on front dash (devices laying on dash)
-cut out the cabinet abover the ac plugs ??

some other brillant location ???
