indoor 12v outlet use

What do you use your indoor 12v outlet for if you have one in your Scamp? Is it worth the $30-40 extra?  Can a solar panel be plugged into it and run out the window to top off the battery?

12 VDC outlet use.

No on the solar panel connection, connect your solar panel directly to your battery. You can plug in a voltmeter to monitor your battery, or plug in a USB adapter to charge and power your electronic devices.

In door 12v outlet use

I use mine to run my little air pump to top off the trailer tires.  Do not need an extention cord to reach tires from car then.  Also use mine to run my 120 volt electric razor via a converter or is it an inverter.....whichever... when we are scamping without hookups.

I bought and installed my own.  Easy hookup from wires running to one of the Lil Critter's 12v lights.

Winterize on the road

In the winter when returning north from FL. I plug in my 12v compressor to blow out the water lines while on the road if it is freezing weather on my route north.

I use mine for the battery

I use mine for the battery monitor, portable air compressor, Endless Breeze fan, USB chargers, It is how my inverter and battery charger connect to the battery. My Scamp has three 12 volt outlets and I use them all.

I use mine to charge our cell

I use mine to charge our cell phones or iPads. Very useful and surely worth the money.
