My old and now new inverter both needed to be mounted as close tot he battery as possible. So in both cases I mounted them on the wall in the front storage compartment within 6 feet of the batteries. Then I ran 14/2 romex. The 12volt draw can get very hot so a large gauge wire to battery is required. The walls where they are mounted are the inside of the storage compartment and I believe Masonite. Never place anything that can get warm on a some kind of combustible surface like carpet.
