12v Socket under bench seat

[SimonB]

My only, very minor, problem with the T6 is the lack of usable 12v sockets. On my T5 there was an extra socket on the dash that was fed by the leisure batteries. The one in the front dash came from the starter battery.
Due to the speaker on the dash that 12v socket has gone. I'm assuming that the one in the front dash comes from the starter battery again so shouldn't be used too much unless you keep on the move. That only leaves the one on the end of the kitchen unit that is easily accessible.
A Cali owner at the Stratford Meet had a sideways mounted USB socket in the 12v socket under the bench seat by the sliding door. This may be a solution for others in the same situation. It clears the bench seat by ½" and has a built in fuse also has 2 x USB sockets.

In our Beach we push the multiflex slightly forward to free up the boot socket to use for external lighting.

We rarely use the socket by the bench seat, but as the boys grow older I expect they will find a use for it.
