Power inverter installation
Have any of you ever installed an inverter to run your TV and DVD player? Was it difficult? How many watt did you need? Where did you get the 12VDC power source for the input? What tips ...

I just did this install, had a 750 watt inverter laying around so I used it. Put inverter as close to the battery's as I could which is the front storage hold, I mounted it so I could open the door and reach in to the unit to turn it on. For the inverter to battery run I used 4ga wire. For the power line I ran a 10/2 outdoor extension cord under the trailer and up the fridge vent to a plug box hole I cut behind the TV which is mounted above the fridge. Wired a dedicated plug at the TV then ran 10/2 romex behind the microwave and through another cabinet to the DVD player which is above the kitchen sink, on the end of this line I just wired on an extension cord plug to plug the DVD into. System works great but I do have to go outside to turn on and off the inverter, next inverter will have a remote switch.
