Any suggestions for locations of extra 110 and 12v plugs in a new MB?   Frank

12v plug near the water fill port. I installed one so I could plug in my 12v water pump to pump water from jugs into the tank when dry camping. The plug is in the rear most bay.
 110v on the driver's side. I installed one in the rear most bay. This allows me to plug in my portable air compressor when airing the tires without dragging an extension cord around the motorhome.

We had an extra 120v outlet installed at the front end of the cabinet over the dinette making it easier to plug in a charger or light for the overhead bunk.

The factory installs both 110 and 12 volt plugs above the dinette. However, this locating is less than convenient in that there will be cords hanging down. I would add a 110 outlet below the dinette table. I have added an outlet next to the pax side couch on the wardrobe wall (an easy post delivery additions).

Another location, also fairly easy post delivery, is inside the cabinet aft of the TV. This location provides a nice spot for plugging in rechargeables that you may want leave plugged in while underway, and keeps such stuff out of the way (wife plugs in her toothbrush there).

I got a 12v outlet added to the cabover sleeper area next to the reading light at the head of the bed so I can read under the covers
 I also wish I'd ordered one for the little vanity (TK) next to the door, to use as a device charging station. This would not be a difficult retrofit.
 A 110 outlet in the cupboard next to the TV would have been nice too for media players. There's a 12v in there to use with an inverter for 110v components, but that might not be ideal for sensitive electronics that like a clean sine wave.

I have installed three of these in my MB.   One right above Power Center, one under the cabinet over the dinette, and one inside dinette cabinet. I have a bunch of networking and radio equipment in there.  Each one provides four Power Pole connectors and two USB charging ports.   The Power Pole connectors are very inexpensive (about $1 each) and easy to install with a standard crimper.
