USB charging outlet

2 smartphones, my Nook, and Steve's new Google Nexus 10 tablet have created a basket full of USB chargers...

Found this little number through our home automation supplier a couple of months ago.  At the time, they only had white available.  Now black ones, which will work in our coach, have been released and are due to be shipped in a couple of weeks

black  Amazon.com: Leviton T5630-E 15-Amp 125-volt 2.1-Amp USB Charger/Tamper-Resistant

white or ivory  Amazon.com: Leviton T5630-W 2.1-Amp USB Charger/Tamper-Resistant Receptacle,

We ordered a black one for the coach and a white one for the house.  We'll report back after they've been installed.

There are other brands, but we have had good luck with other Leviton devices.  The outlet is engineered with one high-power USB port and one regular so we can charge both phones or 1 phone and 1 tablet at the same time and still have the AC outlet for one of the laptops. 

Here's the link for more info on Leviton's site http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/SectionDisplay.jsp?section=53874&minisite=10251

Michelle,

Thought I had seen everything but you just spoiled my day.:D Nice info.

For the Mac users among us, here is a link to a magnetic charger for RV/cars with a USB out also. I have one and really like it: Car Laptop Charger for MacBook Pro 60W 16 5V 3 65 with USB for iPhone iPad Mac |
