[QUOTE="Lowcountry Joe, post: 1232082, member: 14645"] Agree that you should power these items directly from the battery....but....you can use your idea of a switched wire with a relay to ensure that the connectors for your accessories are not hot all of the time. If you want it hot all the time, great. But if you don't, get yourself an automotive 12v sealed relay (20 or 30 amp contact rating will be more than enough) and tap into the tail light wire to get switched voltage to drive the relay coil. With this setup, when you turn on the switch, your powerlets are hot and ready (connected to the battery b+ via the relay contacts) and when you turn the switch off, they go dead. So you have a couple of ways to go. If you use the relay, you don't need the fuse block but you should always fuse the B+ line going to your powerlet connections with a fuse rated at about 1.5 to 2 times the current you expect to draw with the accessory.
