Hello,
I wanted to tie in a 12v outlet at the panel/converter but there is no additional space. The location is really convenient. I was wondering if I can just tap in the the negati e/positive bus behind the panel in order to make this happen? I'll also add an inline fuse. I would just be using the outlet for low watt items. Thanks all in advance!!
Short answer is yes so long as you remember the fuse.
I have extra fuse slots in my panel and have added several additional outlets. Some wired back to the panel (3) some (3 more) tapped into existing circuits that had the current carrying capicity and a proper fuse.
