I ran a new circuit from the breaker/fuse panel. There are a couple of spare 12V circuits available.

Some earlier post mentioned tapping into the 12V circuit at the heater under the bed.
I want to do the same thing in order to power a couple of USB chargers. I'm not sure of which of the heater wires to tap into.   
Any guidance would be appreciated.
