Hello and thank you for the response, All that is shown there is 12v DC and the polarity - c + Nothing about the amperage required for the VCP. At any rate, I got it handled. I got a nice adapter that looks a lot like a laptop adapter [12-18 inch pigtail from the outlet to the box, then the long small wires to the VCP]. I learned that 12v VCRs will consume 1 to 2 amps. So I purchased one that was 12VDC and 5 amps and - c +. That gave me a strong 12v with a lot of reserve and doesn't even get warm. Works like a dream.....and only $10.99 and shipped free. Many of these Motor Home Camper forums have extensive lists of the amperage requirements for all 12 volt products. That made me a "happy camper" also {;-) Thank you again!
