Hi
Is this what I need to mount a USB (power) outlet for my 12/14volt RV

That should work. Of course, you'll need something to generate the regulated 5V
supply.
If you want a more main stream source, here's the mouser listing:
http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=NAUSB-W
Or for you, maybe the farnell uk listing is more appropriate:
http://uk.farnell.com/neutrik/nausb-w/adaptor-usb/dp/1760681?Ntt=NAUSB-W
You can also get the NAUSB-W-B, which is the black version.

John,
I don't think so, it looks like this only provides a hard mounted USB
socket - it does not do any voltage transforming. You would have to use a
normal USB cable in the back side to connect to a 12/15v to 5v transformer.
See

John,
Perhaps something like this
http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/batteries/pololu-stepup-down-regulator
or this http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/batteries/step-down-regulator-5v-3v3
will fit the bill? Mount in a project box.

John,
How 'bout installing a simple 12 volt outlet. They are available through Amazon,
ebay, auto parts, marine parts (waterproof!), etc. Then get a nice single
or double USB power port to plug into it. For instance, here's a bunch of stuff
from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&keywords=usb%2012%20volt%20adapter&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ausb%2012%20volt%20adapter
Or there's something like this 12 Volt Power Point with 5 volt USB Powerpoint Outlet
from ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Volt-Power-Point-with-5-volt-USB-Powerpoint-Outlet-/370409173256
It's only a single outlet, but maybe that's all you need.

You beat me to it. Thanks! I was going to
comment that there's a boat-load of technology
and product to apply to the task but many
'solutions' require fabrication, mounting of
multiple components, wrestling with noise
issues for some 5v down-converter products,
wiring, etc.
The pre-packaged devices Bob points out offer
turn-key solutions for installation. By picking
down-converters designed to fit on or inside
the legacy cigar-lighter socket, one may easily
replace a noisy converter for one more accommodating
without having to wrestle with mounting/re-wiring
issues.
All-in-all I think an elegant, low labor, low risk
solution.
Bob . . .

Very nice! However, did I hear a little overshoot followed by a slight
reversal when the intermediate positions were selected?

I am considering a "roll your own" set of LED lights for my homebuilt

someone point me in the direction of the FAA specs for the
navigation/position lights.

Bob
Here is something that will work for you: from any to any (position), with
limit switches and based on electromechanical (relays 7 of them they can
be very small) and 11 diodes, more complex but it will work
.
For that to work properly you will need to modify the mechanical design in
a way that only one micro switch is make at a time, you will also have
different LED indication compared to your design: only one LED will be lit
at a time indicating current flap position.
Have fun
