What do you use your rear cargo 12V outlet for?

Do you regularly use your 12V socket in the cargo area? Only on trips? How about the 110V outlet?

I only use mine when I need to air up the rear tires but I'm wondering if I'm missing out on anything.

I use mine for my rear dash cam.

I use mine for my rear dash cam.

Do you use it as an independent cam or is it connected to the front cam in any way?

Independent right now. May upgrade in the future.

So, tell me more.

Is it two of the same camera, or did you go with different units? Which one(s) did you go with? Any challenges pulling or syncing videos? Any particular advantages or disadvantages you see?

I’m thinking this may be a viable solution to those of us that don’t want to pull a lot of headliner trim, etc.

I know the Garmin minis can be individually configured as either front, rear, left, or right, and was considering that as an option.

I just bought them last week so I haven't installed them completely yet. I just figured I would place one in the back widow and one in the front. From first glance, it looks like hiding the power cord won't be as difficult in the back but I also have to make sure that there is plenty of leeway to account for the back hatch opening and closing. Here is the model of dashcams I bought https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2Z4S7NT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 I'm definitely going to have to do some maneuvering with the cords and trim.
