Advise; Mount inverter in the compartment NEXT to where the batteries live (not in the same air space) Use wire at least one size larger than the inverter maker recommends Tape the positive and negative wires side by side (Bundle) for as much of the run as possible.. Connect DIRECT to the battery via a proper size fuse (As recommended by inverter maker) do not run through disconnect switches of any kind.
