Hey bwood.. Did you get your project completed? How is it working for you? Do you have enough amps to run your invertor? What type of battery are you running for house?Ok, so hopefully this is the last question before getting this done. I installed the Blue Sea safetyhub 150 in the rear cargo area, running a 2awg cable from the aux battery + back to it (fused near the battery). Then ran another 2awg cable from the negative bus of the safetyhub as a ground to the chassis nearby. Got lights, fridge, and 12v outlets wired to the safetyhub and all are working. Last on the list is wiring a samlex 600w inverter; I ran 6awg cable from both + and - terminals on the inverter to the safetyhub. However, there's another earth ground lug on the inverter that I'm not exactly sure what to do with. Should this be separately grounded to the chassis as well? Or since the - terminal is actually running through the chassis via the safetyhub, is it necessary?
Yeah, everything's been working great since finishing the install. We used the inverter primarily for charging laptops and camera gear on the road, which worked great. The house battery is an X2 Power AGM (group 27) from batteries plus, mounted on its side in a modified Slee 2nd battery tray. Using the area meant for a compressor allowed us to use a much larger battery than normally fits, which definitely helps when you're camped somewhere for days on end running a fridge, lights, charging phones, etc.Hey bwood..

mind sharing a diagram or final setup of your wiring? I attempted to follow and sort of got lost. I’m looking to do this for similar use and would be super helpful.Ok, so hopefully this is the last question before getting this done.
