Need a 12v DC power supply to use Roku Ultra 2024 in an RV

The headline says it all really. I need to find a suitable, or ideally a *recommended* 12v DC power cable (cigarette lighter style plug) to power a Roku Ultra 2024 in an RV. It would be horribly inefficient, not to mention expensive, to use an inverter to convert 12v DC to 120v AC, then use the standard PSU to convert 120v AC back to 12v DC. 

Does Roku recommend something, or has anyone in the community found an ideal adaptor that is working for them?

 

EDIT:

I just found the Power Adaptor thread which had eluded me before, and based on the information gleaned there, I'm going to try the following, which is center-positive, 2A, and has a variety of connector sizes.

Re: Need a 12v DC power supply to use Roku Ultra 2024 in an RV

Hi @Phil_C,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

We are more than happy to share additional information regarding the power adapter for the Roku Ultra 2024.

The power adapter provides 12V 1.5 amps. If you find a travel adapter for the RV that meets these criteria and fits the device, it should function properly. We recommend not using a 2-amp adapter, as it may deliver excessive power, which could lead to issues with the device.

We hope you find this information helpful.

Regards,
Riamie
