Any electrical gurus out there that can help me with my customized installation of an inverter? I bought the Costco Xantrex 1500 and want to mount it
in my camper shell. I don't want it under the hood because of dust and moisture reasons.
I have a 1998.5 4x4 Dodge Ram 2500 24 valve QuadCab Longbed Cummins Turbo Diesel. I have two Optima red top batteries under the hood.
What size wire should I use?
Which battery do I run it off of?
What size fuse do I need to put inline?
Should I run an on/off marine style switch?
What things do you all run off of this inverter ( I know a lot of you have this same inverter)
Should I install a sealed battery in the camper shell and run the inverter off of that?...... Would the power of my round RV/fithwheel plug in the
bedrail of my truck work for me?
Any educated info would be appreciated. I would like to install it this week.
