My 2600rb has two charging stations. One in the bedroom and one on the thin divider wall between the dinette and theater seating. GD uses standard charging ports and since my phones have Qualcomm chips that wasn't going to do. Here's my upgrade.
I bought 2 Qualcomm v3 dual charging ports. I wanted a round mounting plate instead of the square one GD uses. It needed to be at least 2 1/2" in diameter to cover the old screw holes and at least 3/8" thick to offset the charger enough so it would fit inside the thin divider wall. I put on a face mask, braved going into Hobby Lobby, and found exactly what I needed. I drilled out my main hole and two screw holes in the wood disks. I then gave them a quick paint job. In order for it to fit in the original wall hole I couldn't use the supplied mounting ring so I used high temperature hot glue to mount the charger ports to the mounting plates. Seems to be holding good for now. If they ever comes loose I'll peel off the hot glue and epoxy them on. I didn't want to use epoxy because it seemed like such a permanent solution and I wanted to make sure this was going to work as planned or I would have to go to plan B. Repeated all this for the bedroom.
I think it came out decent for a cheap, quick upgrade. If your phone has a Qualcomm chip it'll turbo charge it otherwise it'll fast charge.
