Additional 12v Sockets

Has anyone fitted additional 12v sockets in the dash/console area of their RRS. If so where did you put them ans where did you take power from??

Thanks

Thanks - the only other place I could think of is in the ashtray area next to the one already there. However I want to use that spot for an electric trailer brake controller.

The issue is not where I take power from - it comes direct from the battery with the switching power from the brake power. The controller needs to be within arm reach of the driver so that braking effort can be adjusted as necessary for adjustments and full on brakes in emergencies when max braking effort required.

Not keen in drilling holes to fit the controller and it would fit in the ash tray hole quite well and still be able to turn the controller.

You may not use these systems in the UK - here the brakes must be able to be controlled by the driver id needed. When set up they work automatically but this must be able to be overridden if needed.
