Inverter install on a wolf creek

I am looking to mainly run a hair dryer for my wife, so right now looking at the xantrex prosine 1000watt. What is the smallest watt hair dryer you can get. Would love to go 300 watt morninstart but don't think it has wnough juice. Not sure if I can get away with putting it under the sink or out of sight due to it needing air to breath. I like the idea of putting inside mounted to the battery box like towpro mentioned. Pretty sure the 850 and 840 are similar. I think I have enough room but worry about proper ventilation. towpro what inverter are you looking at putting in?

Thanks
Nolan

Any space around behind the breaker panel?

For 150 or 300 watts just use the main battery feed. Connect to the 120v circuit of choice with a small transfer switch. No pulling wire, just make connections.

I am debating how i want to deal with the AC side. Currently my sat receiver is in the over head cabinet sideways held to back if wire compartment side inside cabinet with velcro strap, and it is sharing the AC outlet for the microwave. I am thinking of just running a new outlet for sat receiver, with a 2 way switch somewhere under sink to switch from sure power to inventor power.

There is, but we have 840's and Nolan has an 850, I'm not sure where his batteries are.

It does depend on what you want to run. If you want to run very small appliances or charge a device or two, they work fine on a 12V plug.

If you want to run the whole TC, you need to put it where you can plug the TC in. Some people mount them inside the TC. You can follow the path you took for the solar connection and put it somewhere in the path. Again, though, you have to think about how to plug your devices in.

Of course, you also have to turn off the battery charger when you do that and probably should turn off the refrigerator as well.

My 400W pure sine inverter with 12v plug works great for the tv/dvd in the 830. Maybe you can find a convenient location for a 12v plug where you can temporarily use a portable inverter when you need it.

This post talks about one.

Any room where you have the master cutoff switch?
