USB ports added: update
I got my USB ports installed and all is doing well. I back pinned large red wire to supply what little power they required (6 amps max.) I made a staple out of a larger paper clip soldered my wire to staple and wedged it in good between the wire insulation and the crimped end….
inline fuse then thru switch so can turn on…(same switch I used for when Im towing it, so can turn off and wont drain battery)….fused also.

I was going to say, no worries, paper clips are made from zinc-plated steel wire. (The plating would make it easy to solder.) But then I decided to double check and discovered these surprising facts, courtesy of Quota.:
They’ll be fineuntil the fire starts.

I understand. I feel like I have done it in a safe manner….I didnt butcher up the wiring…didnt even cut and splice a wire…everything is fused…the usb’s themselves dont hardly draw any power…3 amps per port x 2 (2 of them). More power than that from static discharge…lol
