I recently learned that if you remove that red bit on the end of your fridge plug it will plug into a powerlet jack. I installed powerlet jacks in my vehicles for my fridge as well. Great video!

Don't replace the Dometic plug! Just remove the red plastic piece and boom - you have a Hella standard plug with better connection! Thanks for the video!

I tried that and the powerlet port on the end of the oem plug didn't seem very secure, the 90 deg plug is rock solid 👍

Much thanks for this video, was racking my head on amazon with all the options out there and reading reviews before purchasing, all were pretty much crap. Then came to the tube for some actual reviews. Ill definitely be going with you're recommendations.

I already drilled a hole for a US cigarette lighter port. Will the EU powerlette port fit in that mounting hole or is the hole too big?

trying to sort out what plug is in my Bluetti EB70 Europe version... I bought multiple and tried and most of them just jump out again. So looking at your video. Now the one you sit with at 5:30 looks like it, yet... trying the ball bearings are just ready to come out. It sucks... I wonder about the one with greater grippers and red thing... might be worth a try if I can get one of those. But this just utterly sucks.

Great info but still confused. I just installed a marine grade 12v socket in my RV for my 12v Furrion TV. I was using the 12v socket that came with my camper but I wanted one closer to the tv. The 12v tv plug does not work in the marine grade socket. Does not seem to fit properly. Any ideas why?

You forgot SAE connectors. I use them on motorcycles because I can leave the pigtail for battery tender connected (which is SAE) and I use a USB connector with SAE for charging electronics

I use SAE connectors in certain situations as well, for wall mounted devices I like the versatility of the marine cig ports and Powerlet connectors 👍

They have their place as well but they don't make for a clean permanent install like the Powerlet ports or the Blue Sea units 👍

What is your opinion on the SAE connector? I use them on motorcycles for GPS, heated vest and battery charging. Inside my fwc for fridge and battery charger connecting.

I can't get my car fridge 12v adapter to lock. Also, the locking outlet I have is too wide for most of the other adapters I've tried and more around. I may tried to wrap a elastic band around the adapter so it fits snugger.

Nice overview, thanx! One bit of criticism if I may: the fact that POWERLET doesn't mean anything to us Europeans given that we had already named such plug/socket, quite some time ago, specificaly MERIT, HELLA, BMW.. Perhaps that was too confusing for the US market? Also, some Amp rating would have helped to complete the overview, just saying... ciao! lm

The design of this system of plugs and sockets mystifies me on a fundamental level. Surely out of the box such sockets should be compact and secure, and the plugs low profile and right angled as a base-line standard since they are for use inside cramped vehicle cabins in and around cargo etc. Maybe its because they evolved from cigarette lighters, but still, it seems absurd - for example the dometic one ... I take the point that the gasket makes it more secure, but why does the damn thing have to sprout out from the socket some 10cm?

This plug/socket standars is a failed concept that should have ceased to exist.
