where to put inverter on Northstar Pop up

I have a North Star 850 SC popup TC Thought I could install an inverter it in the compartment where the Batteries are. Instructions seem to advise against doing that. Any NS 850s out there that have installed an inverter?

    How big? If 300 watts or less you can tap the main battery cable near the 12v fuse panel and wire direct into the 120v side with a transfer switch.

    Yes if you have flooded batteries in a tight compartment I would avoid putting the inverter in there.

    Don’t install any electrical device in a compartment with wet cell batteries...the gas they give off will corrode the device. Is your battery compartment well ventilated?
