Don't know where to buy one but it might be worth making one up yourself so you know all the wiring can take the loads you want to put through it.

Adaptors with multiple sockets (up to four) are available from most camping / caravanning outlets and any stockist of 12v electricals.

E.g. www.Towsurecom, www.Roadpro.co.uk

They could be mounted permanently if required.

A quick scan through ebay and there are some 4 and a lot of threes. For most things I now use these a bit more pricey but seem good quality, and if used with the matching plugs less prone to getting wet inside.

I have today bought a 4-socket block from the Poundshop (for £1 - doh!) Don't 'spose the quality is the greatest but the quantity is there. And you can buy several for not much money!

I got a couple of singles from a car accessory shop - that were Marine Quality much to my surprise. Slightly dearer, but will last twice as long due to sensible choices of marterials & design. A already mentioned, mounting them in a panel isn't exactly rocket science.
