Need to wire in Multiple 12v car accesories
I have a new van coming and I want to permanently wire in quite a few 12volt items, so far:
Nokia Car Kit
Parrrot car kit
Road Angel
TomTom
Phone Charger
REVO DAB
power convertor 12volt to 240volt
and the list goes on.........
I need each one to be individually switched, I wanted to take one feed from the battery and in to an internal fuse box but cant seem to find anything that will do the job.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Correction - it's a mess now, but will be tidier 
I'm in the same boat actually, too much stuff to plug in on longer trips. Can someone invent wireless power? Thanks.

I rewired my boat last summer with one of these fuse boxes. Quality piece of kit. Available here:
Power Store
Not sure how much current that's lot's going to draw. You might be best driving a relay with the accessory line, taking power straight from the battery. I'd do away with the cigarette lighter plugs on the end, and crimp ring connectors on instead, which will fit nicely on to the fusebox.

Top Banana that looks like the exact thing I need!
I did want to take the power directly from the battery, but not sure what you mean by using a relay on the accesory line?
I was initally going to use the radio ignition on lead to drive a relay to turn the box on, but I may need to use some of the stuff with out the key in the ignition so may have to put some on individual switches.
Has the box got any switches on it or is it purely an in out fuse/distrubution box?
