Hi Dan

Thanks a lot for the Info!
Yeah I figured it's not the best way to go about it and that is also a good point about the power efficiency issue.

I'll probably go ahead and do it anyway but make sure I go shopping for some more 12v options to make it more economical.

We will probably (and hopefully) be keeping well away from any shore power options so we will need to preserve as much battery power as possible!

Thanks again for the advice

Just had a bit of a potential brain wave but need some advice to see if this is actually a safe way to go about it.

So,
I have a 2000W Inverter connected to my leisure battery with two available plug sockets.
Can I use a length of 3 core cable, wired to a plug (plugged into the inverter and fused) then wire the other end into a 1 or preferably a 2 gang plug socket?

Wont this effectively be an extension lead just with switches?

I am not planning on having the inverter switched on the whole time. Only when power is needed.
Just think it would look nicer having a proper plug socket with usb ports.

Will this work or do you have any suggestions for something similar?
Thanks!
