Custom battery/inverter box

I'm working on building my truck bed/camper shell into a camper... (excuse me, I mean expo vehicle) I have that exact inverter. Are you running it direct or fused? I want to fuse mine, but I don't know how much it would draw if near a full load.

I have a 50 amp line fuse inside the batt box, just in case-and an external high current line switch, just for the inverter-

After 5 years, I've never had to overload that inverter-:snorkel:

Good luck

I put together a similar one myself, but I used a couple 35ah sealed batteries (UPG 12350). It's reasonably lightweight too.
