Just took a 130 mile drive and picked up a 1200 pound load. 21 mpg from door to door in the hill country of texas.

12v and USB do not charge while car is off, this is a bummer and I will rewire.

Question: how does one turn on cargo lights without opening doors from the cab?

Thanks to this forum I bought this vehicle.

The lights themselves are the switch, there are 3 positions: off, come on when door opened or on (but they only stay on for a limited time (20 minutes?))

And you press the face of the light to operate it.

I am glad that you have joined the PM owners. I have had mine for 7 months and enjoy it more and more. I have had zero problems with mine.

Nope. Mine is not.

I just tested my USB near ignition... It is always on. Huge.

Mine comes on when I open the door like it's connected to the interior lights but as soon as the light goes off so does the USB power.

Mine is always on, regardless of condition. Tested.

How did you test? Ny phone beeps when I plug it in so when I leave in plugged in in the van and come back and open the door it beeps like I just plugged it in. And of course I can see the charge indicator go out when the lights turn off. I wish mine was always on....
