That would be fine to add 110v outlets that contain USB ports but you still need shore power for them to work. It would also be easy enough using long enough wire to install USB ports that run off your 12v coach batteries using the same kind of stuff for your vehicle. It's a matter of enabling the right connectors as needed. USB devices use many styles of connectors for different types of USB rechargable devices and that's where most of our difficulties arise. But we have all kinds of ways to connect and recharge our USB stuff (cell phones, GPS devices, Wifi, MagicJack, etc.). If 110v is available (shore power, generator, inverter) which allows chargers, laptops or a USB hub to power or recharge these USB items, too. WaltBennett has the right idea for the easiest, most available or popular methods.

Why would one need 110 for a USB connection? 12V is all that is required. I would say that the dealer could get you the connector assembly that comes in the new rigs (ours has one). They consist of a USB connection as well as a cigarette type 12V conenction. Ours is connected to the 12V reading lights in the bedroome for power. I would think this would be a simple mod.
