INSTALLING THE INVERTER CONTROLS
The inverter controls should be mounted in an easily
accessible place, probably the same area in which
you will mount the HVAC controls (Fig. 5). Consider
first the area at the head of the bed (driver’s side of the
truck). Usually the truck’s HVAC controls are mounted
here and provide a wire chase for your use.
If you are installing in a day cab, and the inverter
controls consist of a switch that measures 3/4" x 1
1/2", then you can remove the switch from the panel
and install it into an empty dash switch location.
If the cables need to be extended, use conductors of

at least butt-connected and covered in outside-rated
shrink tube. Waterproof plugs are also a good method.
