Review on Trucker Volt Power Lighter Radios by Vincent Lott

Because of good reviews I ordered this 12V power cord with cigarette lighter plug for CB radios from Diesel. I received the RoadPro RPPS-220 Truckers Platinum Series CB Power Cord. The box on my RPPS-220 said that if the product failed, it should be returned to Palmyra, PA within 30 days. At the bottom it said "Made in China" in small print. Although it's "Made in China" (oh no!), it "appears" to be a quality cord with a nicely shaped plug and a built-in 5 amp fuse. It provides a solid connection to my Cobra CB radio and works great. Now let's get to the point of my review. After receiving this cable, I searched Revain for "RoadPro RPPS-220". The exact same cable came out, described as "3PIN 2WIRE 16GA POWER HARNESS W/PLUG 0 by RoadPro". It costs $8.90 with free shipping on orders over $25. I paid Advanced Specialties Inc. $10.98 + $4.99 shipping for a total of $15.97. That's almost 80% more than the similar product sold by CRS Communications for $8.90. I'm keeping the cable because it's too difficult to return, but I posted this review so you know what you're actually buying and not overpaying.
