Title: Accessories for fan jack (6.35mm / 1/4")
Post by: Swayzeexpress on May 13, 2018, 10:43:14 AM
Hello! We love our 2016 8.1 so much and I am having a blast modding it!

I did a bit of searching and did not come up with a thread about the fan/light jack.

Has anyone been able to locate other fans or accessories that can take advantage of these plugs?

All I can find is a USB port

Thanks!

Check by the dinette near the bed hinge.

Lol I should have been clearer - I am looking for other accessories besides the light/fan combo that will run off of these outlets. Basically is there anything else that I can plug into these jacks other than the fan light?

Gotcha all I have ever found is lights, vacuum and fans but I have heard of tales coffee pots and other items that work off the "cigarette" plug.

I like the cig outlet stuff but I'm looking for anything that uses the two audio looking Jack's that run the fan light combo.

Basically has anyone seen any products that would plug into what this plugs into

I've seen this come up on forums from time to time over the years and the general consensus is there is not much out there besides the fan/light combo used in tent trailers.  However there is nothing stopping you from wiring up any 12V appliance to one of these phono plugs.  Most folks just install standard USB and/or cigarette style connections similar to below that will run everything of the box.   

I installed one of these in my Aliner:
