So, I am guessing that if we want to charge our DeWalt (and other brand) batteries out of our cubbies we will have to use the 110 volt cubby to power the battery chargers for them and if so how clean a sign wave does it have? Etc.....
Might just lay it on bed/tailgate hinge area with tailgate in "plywood" mode?Definitely. If you mount it in the cubby.

Sorry, I thought talk was about placing compressor into cubby for storage while hauling plywood.

Vair compressor fits in the under seat space. The one with lighter plug is more convenient than the clips. It now comes in a nice bag. I got mine in a box, more duck tape than cardboard now.

Here's the 12 volt outlet I installed in the bed. Went with OP suggestion. Mounted on the little access door on drivers side. 1 1/16 hole required and some butt connectors.

That looks perfect. Great job. Confirming that the drill hole saw size is 1-1/16. Would a 1-1/8 size also work ?Here's the 12 volt outlet I installed in the bed. Went with OP suggestion. Mounted on the little access door on drivers side. 1 1/16 hole required and some butt connectors.
Thank You.

1 1/16 is a tight fit, but there is a plastic nut on the back. 1 1/8 sb ok.
Same from side to side, wanted to keep the outlets and light safe from mulch and… Stuff, so I bought a second cubby, and an LED RV door light (angled) and some other bits from Amazon 3 panel doohickey with a voltmeter, cigarette lighter outlet and a waterproof switch… Things when wrong, extra holes were drilled but Amazon saved the day which an enderdash plastic thing and it was saved… Angled light toward the bed, and the switch is in the upper area… The RV light has a metal case so it’ll be oK getting hit by my hitch…
