Looking for 12V outlet

Hello 28FB owners! I have a 2013 model. Does anyone know if there is a 12v outlet hiding somewhere? I'm looking for a way to keep my iPad and iPhone charged when I'm away at dog shows dry camping since I use them to video and review our runs.
Thanks!
Andrea

You will have to look hard for them. Most units have at least one. In my unit there is one behind the main TV, one in the bunk room, and a third in the master bedroom where the TV hooks up. Good luck

I have a Cruiser and there is one in the basement storage area (take a peak there) and one in the bedroom. You could install one. If dry camping you could run directly from your battery. Others with more info will chime in I am sure. It would not be very difficult.

My new phone came with a outlet plug, that I can just run the charging cable to this plug, and plug it into a wall socket, is that not an option on your phone???

Okay, I have been known to plug one into the live plug in the truck to recharge when we have been out

Try this for a easy 12volt off battery. http://www.amazon.com/Roadpro-Batter...ywords=ac+to+1

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll take a good look in the places people have mentioned this weekend. Running one off the battery is an option, but something hard wired in is more elegant I have solar panels to keep the battery charged so I have that dry camping aspect covered. Last time, I was conservative with my iPad use and charged my phone off the truck outlet.

I have two. One by each TV. I have found them to be different sizes. The one by the TV downstairs will not accept the plug on my inverter. Seems the plug is to large.
