Is there any sort of 'standard' for 12v outlets other than the ubiquitous cigarette lighter plug/socket? Besides being bulky, I find them very unreliable, in that no matter how I position the plug in the outlet, a small tap can make it lose contact. Doesn't seem to make much difference which plug is used, and I've tried several different brands of 'sockets' with no real improvement.
I've thought about just getting some sort of plug and socket similar to those that plug a power supply into, say, an ibook, and retrofitting all my 12v 'appliances', but before I do that I'm curious if others have similar problems and what they may be doing about it.
