recently got a new camper, it has scissors jacks, being one of the cool kids, I used my 18v drill to run the screws right up til the 3yo batteries died, and I then realized I had left the charger at home.....

 So, my DW has a nice little 12v Ryobi drill and vacuum set, the batteries are expired, and have been for awhile. My intent is to wire an outlet for 12v and have a corded drill and vacuum for the camper, and not have to worry about the chargers anymore.

 any suggestions for suitable outlets? something that would handle several amps I would guess, probably not more than 10ish tops, ( will be on it's own fuse )

 I have 8 mini Anderson 50amp connectors coming, to run  and connect various other tools directly off the batteries, add a booster from TV incase batteries need charged or boost the TV if that needs to happen. ( 4 with 10/12ga lugs, 2 with 8ga lugs, 2 with 6ga lugs )  can get more as needed ( they are rather cheap )

I don't really want an Anderson connecter inside, but I guess I could hide it and actually let the DW know where it is   Grin

worse thing that could happen I guess is 13.8v coming off fresh batteries could be a little much for a 12v drill, but it'll work for a while.
