got a link to the inverter you're using?
Sorry, no. It's an old Harbor Freight unit I picked up years ago against the day I'd need it. That day is near.
Didn't think about car stereo shops having cable and fuses. Too bad there isn't one within ~40 miles of here... There are a few chain auto stores.
I asked SWMBO whether she'd pretty a "pretty" installation (small switch in cab with relay under hood) or go with the "brute force" route (like the JEGS switch). Surprised the hell out of me when she said to go with the JEGS switch, maybe with the faceplate but that's not necessary.
So, I'll come off the positive side of the battery with a 50a fusible link and 8ga wire to the switch on the dash, then 8ga to the inverter, with 8ga from the battery negative terminal directly to the inverter.
Having the inverter in the cab will allow use of the 120v while on the road, and I can run an extension cord out the window when running tools in the yard, etc.
Y'all have helped with the "one new thing a day" for a couple days now. Thanks!
