Does anyone make a swappable part that converts the AC power plugs to a 12v cigarette lighter ? (for either the one in-cabin and/or the bed)

I would rather drill a hole and install something more OEM like. Not sure if it is what OP intend.

Yea, I was thinking more straight out AC/Converter loss removal. I was checking out Ausmot for some panels but didn't see any substitution looms.

I guess I could just remove the underset ac inverter - and cannabalize the existing loom, replace endpoints with 12v taps. But... that's kind of modding in a way I was hoping to work around.

I just don't see the upside of having AC in a vehicle - nearly all off the shelf product in this category is already geared to 12v dc so why lose 10-15% more by going through conversion and then adding that (yet again) doing the reverse conversion?
