Think I will wait for some of our sparky's to give their real world opinions before I install my AIMS 1200!  |
Well unless you think you will need all 1200 watts at once I dont think its a problem to install at the fuse panel and use the OEM wiring. Many have installed this exact inverter (Me included) without any issues. Plus it give you a clean installation.
