Just ordered Garmin Nuvi 750 for my week long camping trip w/ the GF to the Ozarks this summer. Thus far I will have...

-two cell phones w/ car chargers
-GPS w/ car charger
-Inverter for whatever home device needs charging in the car, probably the laptop.(http://www.donrowe.com/inverters/xpower_75.html)

I came across this deal today for cigarette plug splitters:

How would you guys outfit your car's interior to have up to 4 devices charging at the same time in the most tidy and efficient way?

Also, w/ all 4 devices charging at once, am I risking blowing a fuse?

Thanks!

EDIT: Forgot the digital camera charger, make that five haha.

 

4 at once is a lil much man...no point in messing with the evo for some simple camping devices...does the GF have a car??? charge it on hers, LOL!

 

I installed an additional adapter up under my dash on the driver side (removed the panel on the side of the dash when you open the door you can see you have plenty of room) - have my nuvi plugged into it and ran the wire up through the dash so no wires were hanging. That way I still have my main one to charge the cell phone or plug my inverter in for the laptop.

Oh and I have it on its own separate power and fuse so nothing will happen if they are both working.

 

travman...can u take a pic of where u routed the cable and what panel u removed? Having trouble visualizing as I'm not near my car. Since the Nav will be on all the time, perhaps a separate circuit is a good idea w/ dedicated plug. I'd love to hide the wiring, but if I did that and wanted to transport the GPS to the GF's car, I'd have to 'unroute' the cabling and move it over, no?

I don't think I'll have ever device plugged in at once, but at least I can do my best to plan for worst case scenario....I found this on ebay, thoughts?

I had this one it lasted 3 months before it smoked

Doh, that sucks ifarted2...I don't have that exact one, was just trying to give somone a visual, that is the first one that came up in Google. Since I will be charging laptop off it, I'll most likely go with a 150w one with an internal fan to keep things cool. (hopefully )

 

I have a three way splitter in my car to power my radar detector, TomTom, and either my cell phone if it needs it or a portable DVD player if my kids are in the car. I mounted it in between the ash tray/coin holder and the bottom cubby.

On a side note, isn't it funny how many wires and cords you can have in your car? I have the power wires for the three mentioned above along with the tactrix cable and the wideband cable. I've had to store the wires that weren't currently in use into my center storage console just to get wires out of the way.

 

that sounds like a good mounting spot Chemwarrier. And yes there are way too many cables. If I put them in the armrest they will have to share space w/ the tire gauge and leatherman.
