How to Install a Power Inverter in Your Motorhome
- 1). Find the maximum length of cable between the inverter and the battery.
- 2). Find a location for the inverter. It should be easy to get to and have free-flowing air to prevent overheating.
- 3). Place it in the location you chose. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Wait five minutes before proceeding to allow all charges to dissipate.
- 4). Connect the ground wire if applicable.
- 5). Run the cables from the inverter to the battery, trying not to drill any holes. If you do, put a grommit in the hole so the cable doesn't run bare and short out. Crimp all the connectors.
- 6). Connect the cables to the inverter. You may want to add a fuse between the battery terminal and the positive cable. Reconnect the battery and test the inverter.
