This is a bit of a sore spot for me to.  I got a
dual plug so that I could plug in my XM Sat. Roady2
and the Navman 570 GPS and the connection ain't so
great.  I'd rather have a deep receptacle so those
devices don't lose power.

On the other hand, I have a triple adapter with on/
off switch plugged into a receptacle that I connected
to the spare battery and use only when the vehicle
is running.  To this I plug in my extra fans to get
more cooling from the AC.  I can also plug in the
cell phone adapter if needed.  Lot's of electrons
movin' around....
